There is a local Kelp Farmer organization on the Shinnecock Reservation that culture and plant Kelp. Kelp is a large macroalgae that aids in the absorption of carbon from our atmosphere.

Kelp also performs both cellular respiration and photosynthesis, acting as a producer in the food chain and supplying the trophic levels with usable energy from the sun.
