Seair Seaplanes & veritree: Restoring Kelp, Restoring Coastlines
Planting Beyond the Shore : Introducing Seaforestion. A verifiable, measured, and monitored marine restoration program.
Seair Seaplanes is proud to announce our new partnership with veritree, the company powering verified nature restoration. Together, we have a goal of reviving kelp forests, strengthening marine ecosystems, and supporting coastal communities.
The climate crisis is a critical global challenge requiring bold action. Nature-based solutions can deliver up to one-third of emissions reductions needed by 2030 per the Paris Agreement, but many lack transparency and are under-invested. veritree combats this with technology, traceability, and validation, for high-integrity restoration projects that can be viewed here: veritree solutions
Why Kelp Matters
Kelp forests are one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet – and many are in decline. Restoring kelp is one of the most effective ways to support healthy oceans close to home.
Biodiversity
Kelp forests harbour thousands of marine species, providing food and shelter, much like forests on land.
Climate Resilience
Kelp sequesters carbon, improves water quality, and helps reduce the impacts of coastal erosion and storm surge.
Coastal Communities
Healthy kelp supports fisheries, tourism, and traditional marine use -strengthening the social and economic fabric of coastal regions.
About the Partnership
Shared Commitment, Real Impact
Seair Seaplanes and veritree have united under a mission to protect the environments we rely on every day. Operating over coastal waters gives us a unique, firsthand perspective on both the breathtaking beauty and the vulnerability of these marine ecosystems.
Our Roles
Seair Seaplanes: We actively champion the veritree program by fostering community engagement and driving essential funding. By matching a small fee added to every ticket, we guarantee that your flight directly contributes to planting kelp and restoring our shared coastlines.
veritree: Our partners manage the science and execution—overseeing project design, kelp propagation, site selection, scientific monitoring, and transparent reporting.
Track Our Progress
As our contributions fund new kelp forests, you can follow our ongoing restoration journey and watch our environmental impact grow via the Seair Seaplanes Impact Hub.
Fly With Purpose
When you fly with Seair, you’re supporting initiatives that give back to the coast we all rely on.
Support as a Business or Group
Corporate charters, group flights, and sponsorship opportunities help expand kelp restoration efforts while connecting teams to meaningful environmental action.
Volunteer
Join community-led restoration and monitoring days in partnership with veritree.
Kelp & Carbon
Kelp forests are powerful natural carbon sinks. While individual kelp plants absorb significant CO₂ as they grow, the greatest climate benefit comes from restoring healthy kelp ecosystems that continuously capture and store carbon while supporting biodiversity.
Nature is our greatest ally when it comes to fighting climate change. Restoring nature through investing in nature-based solutions can create real and substantial benefits for all: people, nature and the planet. Restore solutions involve changing the current pattern of land use, for instance, reforesting and restoring currently degraded or abandoned land, or land currently used for agriculture. This entails converting land back to its natural ecosystem. Climate mitigation can be achieved through the net removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by the trees/plants and through biosequestration in soils and vegetative biomass.
