Join me for a bit of autumn sunshine on the beach as I meet up with inspiring conservationist Henri Brocklebank, Director of Conservation at the Sussex Wildlife Trust. In this episode we hear about an uplifting conservation story happening just beneath the waves off the Sussex coast, in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.
The act of understanding the value of a healthy functioning marine ecosystem has resulted in a trawling exclusion zone of over 300 square kilometres, and has kick-started the most amazing kelp forest recovery. Kelp is a humble brown algae but is a mighty ecosystem engineer as it creates habitat for a whole host of beautiful marine life, as well as offering coastal protection, nutrient cycling and climate regulation. These other-worldly underwater forests provide an incredibly biodiverse habitat for all sorts of species including seahorses, cuttlefish and even breeding stingrays!
This project has been a shining example of partnership working across conservation organisations and passionate individuals, including free divers who have been instrumental in engaging people in marine conservation, capturing footage and helping collect data for the project.
