About us
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.

See our 2021-23 Impact Report and visit our website www.sussexkelp.org.uk #sussexkelp #sussexkelprecovery #HelpOurKelp “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

Introducing Boss Booby, Bovvered Booby, Baby Booby, Bling Booby, Bantz Booby and Bouncy Booby - the six inspirational women who make up the Blue Footed Boobies swim team! These Brighton and Hove-based women are mere hours away from embarking on an epic swim across the English Channel to raise money for Sussex Kelp Recovery Project (SKRP)! The team at SKRP are beyond grateful for the enormous effort they have put in over the past year to train for this moment. In a time of biodiversity and climate crises our ocean needs as much help as we can provide, so we’re incredibly inspired by the team taking it upon themselves to help their local patch of ocean! Please join us in wishing the Blue Footed Boobies a huge GOOD LUCK and, if you’re able to, support their efforts to rewild Sussex seas below: https://lnkd.in/eFWRWwDP You can read more about the team and track their progress below: https://lnkd.in/e7k8vC7V https://lnkd.in/eK5aUXqA
