Communication Director & Co-Founder, SeaForester

"We were delighted when How&How decided to take up our seaweed cause and work on this crucial environmental issue with us. Seaweed forests are disappearing rapidly around the world and we need to pay close attention.

"The beautiful detail created by Cat and her team of the seaweed plants does true justice to the amazing biodiversity found in these ecosystems, and to the story of their disappearance. We're truly happy with the results."

With thanks to Pål, Axel and the SeaForester team restoring sea kelp forests, and growing hope, around the world.

Growing hope for SeaForester in a campaign to raise awareness of the immense environmental benefits of restoring kelp forests.

Living and working next to the Ocean in Lisbon, means the How&How team are all closely connected to the sea. As part of our ongoing series of environmental projects called BeHalf (which we create on behalf of the Planet), we partnered with SeaForester to help them spread the word about the benefits of restoring seaweed forests.

Designed to coincide with World Oceans Day 2021, we worked with the Lisbon-based organisation (who provided copy content and research references) to create a campaign which urged people to think differently about their “blue front yard”, and the huge potential of the forgotten forests of seaweed underwater.

The concept of the campaign was “seeing the sea like land” — and centred on the idea of turning what we consider cultivatable space, on its head. Humans tend to focus on what we can see on dry land, and often overlook the potential of what is growing (or could be grown) underneath the water, and away from sight. 

We developed ethereal photographs of kelp, and traced coastal map lines around them — suggestive of the frilly textures of the kelp fronds, but also of maps and topography. We created sea kelp shapes made from the drawn outline of physical areas of land, in an effort to make the two seem interchangeable. If we can grow forests underwater much like we do on land, then we could be giving ourselves an incredible fighting chance in mitigating the effects of climate change. We just need to think differently.

Wulkman Display was chosen as the display font due to its sharp, exaggerated elements; thin hairlines and ball terminals — suggestive of the blades, cords and floats (pneumatocysts) of kelp. Gentle animation was used to show the seaweed bobbing, drifting and moving with quiet optimism; while a colour palette of calming turquoise and lavender was used to reflect positivity.

Back in 2022 we 'grew hope' for SeaForester in a campaign to raise awareness of the immense environmental benefits of restoring kelp forests.
