We’re a grassroots, volunteer-led marine conservation project in Hastings exploring how kelp restoration could help revive marine life along the Sussex coast.

Decades ago, Sussex waters supported rich kelp forests filled with fish, lobsters, seahorses and countless marine species. Today much of that underwater habitat has disappeared due to trawling, pollution and climate pressures.

We believe healthy oceans start with healthy ecosystems.

Despite having no government funding, our volunteer team of divers, marine scientists, ecologists and conservationists has already built:

✅ A dedicated kelp research lab in Hastings

✅ Living kelp cultures grown under controlled conditions

✅ A growing field team conducting surveys and research

✅ A RIB and core equipment for sea operations

✅ Community partnerships and volunteer support

Now we need your help for the next stage.

Your support will help fund:

● Scientific equipment and environmental monitoring

● Diving surveys and underwater research

● Cameras and field technology

● Lab equipment and kelp research

‍● Education, schools and community outreach

Every donation helps us build the scientific foundations needed to explore kelp restoration and marine recovery along the Sussex coast.

This isn’t just about seaweed.

It’s about rebuilding habitats for wildlife, strengthening climate resilience, inspiring future marine scientists and helping people reconnect with the ocean.

We’re volunteer-led. Community-powered. Built by people who care deeply about wildlife and our future.

If you believe our seas are worth fighting for, please support us.
