But hope is rising: the Eaglehawk Dive Centre’s immersive winter internship trains divers to restore these vital underwater ecosystems, using lab-grown kelp spores and strategic planting. Participants like Linnea Bird, inspired by California’s kelp, dive into cold waters to help rebuild habitats critical for marine life—while learning real-world restoration skills amid unpredictable ocean challenges.
