In cold marine waters, rocky reefs are often dominated by habitat-forming seaweeds such as kelp.

The recipe for kelp forests in many regions of the world is deceptively simple: a rocky seafloor, enough light to support growth, cool nutrient-rich waters, and low grazing pressure to ensure survival.
