Kelp Ark Intern Day

Kelp in Action- From Wellness to Agriculture This month’s Giant Kelp Cluster features two exciting intern-led projects pushing the boundaries of kelp innovation. Talia Ge is pitching wellness products—from gut-boosting jellies to alginate masks—using regenerative compounds extracted from California-grown kelp. Neil Pereira is exploring locally farmed giant kelp as a sustainable biostimulant, designed to support community-driven agriculture and enhance regional crop resilience. Join us to see how Kelp Ark interns are translating ocean science into real-world impact for health, beauty, and farming.
