The Kelp Forest Design refers to an ecosystem that stretches from the coast of Cape Town to Namibia. Kelp forests are underwater forests found in various coastal zones around the world. The so-called "Great African Seaforest" ecosystem is located in Cape Town. It is home to the unique Bamboo Kelp. This exceptionally large kelp species is typical of this coastal landscape off the southern tip of South Africa.

The kelp forest gets its name from the macro-alga kelp. This underwater forest is an important habitat for a wide variety of fish and invertebrates. This biodiversity of fish and invertebrates also ensures the survival of many native bird species.

Even today, the kelp forest in South Africa is the subject of research; many of its inhabitants are still unknown.
