Kelp Forest

The Kelp Forest is one of the most diverse biome types in Subnautica. It is characterized by the abundance of Creepvine, and possesses a distinct greenish hue in the water.

Description
The Kelp Forest is one of the most productive and dynamic ecosystems on the planet. They are also the home of Stalkers.

It is located at medium-shallow depths, and is home to many passive life forms, with the exception of Stalkers, Bleeders, and Drooping Stingers. The seabed is composed of mossy ground and a sandy bottom, and the terrain is comprised of grassy knolls and arches,  sometimes showing entrances to small cavern systems. T he  Kelp Forests also contain large numbers of Creepvines. Kelp Forest has some unique materials like Creepvines and Stalker teeth. There are many canyons to be found in the Kelp Forest, which contain Kelp and Scrap Metal.

Most of the Raw Materials found here are at medium-level depths, with many Harvesting Nodes such as Limestone and Sandstone. The Creepvine Seed Clusters, found on some Creepvines, not only provide light and a beautiful night time scenery, but are also crucial ingredients for making lubricant and Silicone Rubber.

There are currently five Kelp Forests on the map, some containing wrecks or Destroyed Lifepods.

A lot of metal salvage can be found here due to the Stalkers' collecting behavior.

Dense Kelp Forest
The Kelp Forest becomes more dense as the player goes deeper, it now becomes known as the dense Kelp Forest. H ere,  the water is a darker shade of green than the ordinary Kelp Forest. Mesmers can be found here, so the player should be cautious while exploring.
