  1. Results for models predicting stranded kelp plants are presented for the local scale 25 km kelp plant surveys for the entire time series and for each season. Model results are also presented for the regional scale 24 beach sites for kelp plants and kelp wrack. Significant drivers with p < 0.05 are in bold.
