I think this is a case where video dramatically opens up a new dimension on the story the scientists are telling--because the underwater forest is not as familiar a world as the terrestrial forests (for most of us). The Planet Earth footage really impressed me. As usual. Thanks Rob.

I'v learned something new. It's fascinating to see kelp forests as analogous to terrestrial forests. I seem to remember a couple fairly new reports on oceanic wave heights, around the world, increasing due to the influence of climate change.
