Kelp forests face several threats, including climate change, which causes ocean warming and acidification, negatively impacting kelp growth and health. Additionally, overfishing disrupts the ecological balance, as the removal of key species can lead to unchecked herbivory, particularly from sea urchins. Pollution and coastal development further degrade habitats, while invasive species can outcompete native kelp, threatening its survival. Together, these factors contribute to the decline of these vital marine ecosystems.
