Kelp grows near the shore primarily because it requires specific conditions that are typically found in coastal environments. These include shallow waters that allow sunlight to penetrate, which is essential for photosynthesis. Additionally, kelp thrives in nutrient-rich waters often found near Coastlines, where upwellings can bring nutrients from the ocean depths to the surface. Furthermore, the stability provided by the ocean floor and the protection from strong open ocean currents make shorelines ideal for kelp growth.

Does kelp sink when it dies?

Kelp sinks only when small sacks of air attached to the plant are broken. If the sacks are broken while it is alive, it will sink and die. If the kelp dies, but the air sacks are not broken, it will float until enough are broken to make the kelp too heavy for the amount of air in the sacks. However if it is dead for a long time, sometimes weeks or months, it will decay enough for the sacks to rupture. The bottom line is that kelp rarely sinks soon after it dies, it will most often end up on shore.

Yes. Coconuts grow on trees. Coconut Palm trees grow in the tropics usually near sea shores. Coconuts are the seeds of the coconut tree.

Coconut trees can tolerate frost but can not tolerate hard freezes.
