I'd say there's more kelp now than there was 2 months ago, but not much. Didn't really see any floating, but saw some just below the surface, which I didn't before. Also I could feel my sabiki going thru kelp more often. I'd say it's starting to come back with a long way to go. Fortuantely, kelp grows extremely fast, so with a chilly winter maybe we'll see a lot more by springtime.
