1) Kelp, being vegetation needs sunlight to grow, hence why if it made its way into muddy or deep water where sunlight is hard to come by it would sease to grow and would die out.
2) In certain circumstances the conditions in muddy or deep water result in less oxygen/nutrients etc so again the organism would find it hard to grow.
Kelp Forests live in salt waters, such as oceans. They can be in water 2-40 feet deep, but sunlight still has to be able to shine through so the kelp can use it for photosynthesis.
it is usually about 6- 90 feet deep
Yes. Kelp is an important food source for many marine animals.
sea kelp
This is very much a matter of the detail you wish to go into. Marine habitats can be divided into coastal and open ocean habitats. You might distinguish between warmer and colder surface waters, or the different levels of the deep sea such as benthic, demersal and pelagic. There are vast differences as habitats between a kelp bed and a coral reef.
Yes, the fronds of kelp plants serve to absorb nutrients and capture sunlight for photosynthesis. This is why most kelp forests tend to be found in somewhat shallow waters.
Weedy sea dragons live in southern Australian waters in kelp beds.
think about it the only type of soil under the ocean is sand and rock and kelp cant grow on the rocks so???? Sand!
kelp usually lives somewhere in the ocean, not on the shoreline. It can be found on the bottom of the ocean, and other organisms (animals) eat it. It is green and slimy. ADDED: Not at the bottom of the ocean. It lives in shallow water, fairly close to shore. It's also usually brown, not green.
No kelp is a plant it creates its own food by photosynthesis.

Yes, Seadragons are REAL! They live off the coasts of southern Australia in shallow waters, blending in with the seaweed and kelp around them.
