The South Coast Marine Recovery Project is an ambitious, community-led initiative bringing together Wildlife Trusts across Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Sussex.
From seagrass meadows, kelp forests and native oyster reefs to the fish, seabirds and marine mammals that depend on them, everything beneath the waves is connected. The project aims to reduce the pressures harming our seas, support marine restoration and give coastal communities a leading role in shaping what happens next. (The Wildlife Trusts)
