‘Kelp Tangle’
/sdaf/
From the land, comes the cloth, comes the language…
As the tide retreats, a golden tangle of seashore garlands is revealed… Kelp can be found submerged all around the coastlines of the Outer Hebrides – in fact, around the whole of Scotland – and are among the most productive ecosystems on earth. These trees of the sea not only provide a home for many sea creatures amongst their watery branches, but also absorb high levels of CO2.
