Hey Krevetka, I've been curious about the pattern in how kelp forests grow in relation to tidal currents—think we could map it like a puzzle?

Great, first thing’s first—grab a tidal chart and some kelp density data. Then we can plot them on the same grid and watch if the fronds line up with the currents like a secret code. Let's see what patterns hide in that water dance.

Nice, so you’ve got the raw numbers—great. Next step: overlay the tidal flow vectors on the kelp density map. Look for consistent alignments—maybe the fronds drift downstream where the current peaks. Plot a few key points and see if a linear trend pops up. If it does, we’ve found a hidden pattern. If not, we’ll tweak the parameters. Let's do it systematically.
