Just off the shore lies Bognor Reef, a hidden marine hotspot that’s playing a vital role in bringing back Sussex’s lost kelp forests. After decades of damage from bottom trawling fishing, the area got a much-needed break thanks to new protections in 2021. Since then, kelp has started to regrow naturally, bringing with it a whole host of sea life back to the area. 🌱 Kelp forests are like the rainforests of the sea, they absorb carbon, protect coastlines, and provide essential habitats for marine life. So this World Ocean Day, we wanted to shout about the Sussex Kelp Recovery Project happening right here in Bognor Regis. Thank you to the amazing @giosdiving for giving us the permission to use this video. Please go and give him a follow. #bognorregis #WorldOceanDay #Kelp #SussexKelp #BognorReef #Underwater #Diving #divinglife #divingphotography
