Answer:

does this help ?

Step-by-step explanation:

a large patch of warm water developed off the coast, creating a catalyst that has further changed this underwater environment. The persistent warmer sea temperatures stress the kelp forests to the point that growth and reproduction have slowed dramatically and caused damage to remaining fronds and tissue.

Answer: Natural Causes and Human Activities

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors influencing kelp forest stability are diverse: kelp harvesting; grazing by fishes, sea urchins, and crustaceans; plant competition; storms; sedimentation; and pollution; global warming and the association with rising ocean temperatures.
