Warm water is not good for our giant kelp. We also had some big storms n swells this winter that tore the weakend kelp out. The small kelp beds in north county seem more suceptable because they are shallower than LA Jolla or Point loma. The little kelp beds of Terramar, Tamarack Ave, and the army/navy academy were gone for years.
Even when the kelp isn't visible at the surface there's usually still some deeper. You can see it on a FF. I haven't seen kelp on the surface in LJ this year but the yellow tail sure know how to find some to tangle in. The structure the kelp was on is still there and will hold fish even w/o kelp.
