The Sussex Kelp Recovery Project
Rewilding the Sussex seabed

The Sussex Kelp Recovery Project operates in the nearshore of Sussex Bay. The project is a collaboration of local and UK organisations taking an evidence-based, high quality science-led approach to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the Sussex kelp recovery. They are focussed on the monitoring and benchmarking of the Sussex Kelp, to establish change over time following the Sussex Nearshore Trawling Byelaw.

At the heart of the project are the Sussex Wildlife Trust (Chair), Blue Marine Foundation, Sussex IFCA, Adur & Worthing Councils and Sussex Bay, Zoological Society of London, University of Brighton, and UCL working closely with Sussex Underwater, Big Wave Productions and other academic institutions.
