Assessing the importance of kelp forests for small-scale fisheries under a global change scenario
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Kelp forests are critical habitats for temperate coasts that are experiencing dramatic declines worldwide in recent decades. Yet, even though they often support wildlife populations of high socioeconomic value, the consequences of kelp forest decline for
