George ShortGUEST
So the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project is the UK's largest marine rewilding project.

George ShortGUEST
So we're trying to apply all the things that Rebecca just described at a seascape scale.

George ShortGUEST
And the reason for that is in Sussex, as with a lot of areas of the UK's, uh, nearshore habitat, our marine environment is extremely degraded So historically we had underwater forests, kelp forests, that carpeted the seabed and were dense off our coastline all the way from Bognor Regis and, and further west, over to Chichester, all the way down to Brighton, for people that are familiar with that area of coast.

George ShortGUEST
Uh, they're really biodiverse habitats, so they supported local sustainable fisheries and they also act as a nursery habitat.
