In a world where everything is available at the click of a button, we need to learn patience and to move to nature’s rhythm. When history highlights the wrongs of our past and science shows us the path to success, we must learn and evolve.

Last weekend we took part in a Seasearch Observer Course 🌊
It’s all about learning to survey & record marine habitats while diving/snorkelling—building vital data for UK seas, including our Sussex Kelp Recovery Project💚
Get involved sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/what-we-do/l...
Come with us to see what's happening beneath our waves at the Rustington Museum. Exhibits from @sussexwildlife.bsky.social, Sussex Underwater and SKRP, help shine a light beneath the waves of our Sussex coastline. 🌊
A great time learning about our marine life, without getting wet!
Sir David Attenborough narrates the kelp chapter from his and Colin Butfield's book "Ocean: Earth's Last Wilderness", which includes the story of Sussex's kelp forests.
