Help Our Kelp
Sir David Attenborough is backing a pioneering campaign to restore a vast underwater kelp forest off the Sussex coast. Historically, Kelp was abundant along the West Sussex coastline, but this important habitat has diminished over time.
Sussex Wildlife Trust is delighted to have just been awarded a grant by the National Lottery Heritage Fund for our Wild Coast Sussex Project The project will inspire Sussex communities to care for the marine environment & enable them to protect their local coast and sea. To find our more and get involved take a look at their website.
