Learn about the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project and why kelp is so important. Sussex Underwater monitor how the kelp is recovering in our Marine Protected Areas to provide evidence that the trawler ban is helping nature recovery in these important areas.
The Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme works to collect and recycle discarded fishing gear from our beaches. They have fishing gear recycling bins on beaches along the coast for people to deposit any they find. The fishing gear is then recycled into a plastic board which is used to make long life products such as benches or planters by the charity ReAP UK. Watch how they do it on ReAP’s website.

Seahaven Academy and Peacehaven Community School have both adopted a line recycling bin near them. The contents of each bin is audited and the school receives a breakdown of the types of plastic collected. The schools will receive a bench or planter for the school made from plastics retrieved from our beaches.
