Erasmo Macaya Horta
Floating Communities
Nothing in an ecosystem exists alone, and kelp is no exception. Chilean professor Dr Erasmo Macaya Horta is director of ALGALAB (Algal Research Laboratory) at the University of Concepción Department of Oceanography.
He has a special interest in the ecology of kelp communities, in particular floating kelp rafts, and especially those in nearby Antarctica. His ALGALAB entertains and educates audiences through talks, workshops, and moving media so more people can learn to love kelp forest ecosystems and help in their conservation.
