Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is a type of brown algae that can grow at depths of greater than 100 feet (30 meters). Anchored to the rocky ocean bottom with structures called holdfasts, kelp grows toward the sunlit surface of the water, held upright by gas-filled bladders at the base of the leaf-like blades.
