This is great. It may come as a shock, but if we just leave nature alone, it tends to sort itself out.

@SussexKelp Lovely change for there to be positive news about our seas and coast. Cheers.
@SussexWildlife @SussexKelp @sussex_ifca Grateful for support of @SussexKelp Recovery Project partners, particularly commend Tim Dapling whose vision & leadership as Chief Fisheries & Conservation Officer were vital to Nearshore Trawling Byelaw that enabled this initiative along with others for #EcosystemBasedManagement
@SussexWildlife @SussexKelp Pleased to have had an involvement in this from the outset over 10 years ago, as a member, now Chair, of the @sussex_ifca Committee, that took the lead on the Nearshore Trawling Byelaw that enabled the #SussexKelp Recovery Project.

@SussexWildlife @SussexKelp I’m in my 60s and remember heaps of kelp on the beach in Ferring which attracted clouds of flies -life was definitely more abundant then -that’s why I am a member
