We are the official site for the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project supporting the work of the Sussex Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority (IFCA) since 2019 and actively studying the recovery of the Sussex sea-bed.
Supported by Sir David Attenborough, we're a collaboration of leading local and international NGOs, academics, local sea users, statutory bodies, local authorities and film makers.

“This is a landmark decision for how Britain manages its marine environment. Sussex’s remarkable kelp forests will provide a home for hundreds of species, creating an oasis of life off the UK’s coast, enhancing fisheries and sequestering carbon in our fight against climate change. This large-scale protection of over 300 kilometres of seabed is the sort of conservation that UK seas need and is a significant win in the UK’s fight against the biodiversity and climate crises, ahead of the UK hosting COP26 later this year.” Sir David Attenborough
