National Marine Week - Celebrating the Seabed

This National Marine Week we are celebrating the UK’s amazing seabed habitats. In Sussex, there is a wide diversity of different seabed habitats, each supporting a different array of marine life.

Seabed habitats are full of incredible wildlife and are often sensitive to human disturbance. They are threatened with destruction by industrial scale fishing in many areas. Fishing methods such as bottom trawling drag huge heavy nets across the seafloor, catching almost everything in their path, and damaging fragile habitats. 

Here's how you can show your support for our seabeds this summer:
