What part of the ocean do kelp forests grow in?

Kelp forests typically grow in shallow coastal waters, usually at depths of around 10 to 30 meters (33 to 98 feet), where sunlight can penetrate to support photosynthesis. They are commonly found along rocky Coastlines and in temperate regions, where the water is nutrient-rich and provides the ideal conditions for kelp growth. These ecosystems thrive in areas with strong wave action and water movement, which helps deliver nutrients to the kelp.
