Kelp
Kelps are large brown algae seaweeds that make up the order Laminariales. There are about 30 different genera.

Overfishing nearshore ecosystems leads to the degradation of kelp forests. Herbivores are released from their usual population regulation, leading to over-grazing of kelp and other algae. This can quickly result in barren landscapes where only a small number of species can thrive. Other major factors which threaten kelp include marine pollution and the quality of water, climate changes and certain invasive species.Species of "Laminaria" in the British Isles;
