About Us:

Since its inception in 2022, the Seagrass Outreach Project has been dedicated to fostering a deeper connection between our local community and the captivating world of seagrass. As passionate marine enthusiasts, we embarked on this journey with a vision to raise awareness about the invaluable significance of seagrass ecosystems. With the generous support of a £2500 grant from Sea-Changers, we've been able to breathe life into this endeavor and share our passion with you.

 

Our Mission:

At the heart of our mission is the commitment to engage, educate, and inspire. Our goal is to kindle a sense of wonder and appreciation for the remarkable seagrass habitats right on our doorstep. Through a series of enriching activities, we aim to illuminate the importance of these underwater ecosystems, the diverse array of species they harbor, and the critical role they play in sustaining marine life.

 

Summer Snorkeling Safaris:

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of seagrass through our captivating snorkeling safari sessions held during the summer months. Led by knowledgeable guides, these sessions offer you a unique opportunity to explore the depths and witness firsthand the beauty of seagrass habitats. Our snorkeling safaris are open to all, and we provide all the necessary equipment. Discover the magic beneath the surface and gain a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of marine life.

 

Inclusivity and Community:

We firmly believe that marine conservation should be accessible to everyone, irrespective of background or circumstance. As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we offer free snorkeling sessions, ensuring that even those less experienced have the chance to participate. Our future endeavors include collaborating with local schools to create tailored seagrass exploration days, nurturing young minds and fostering a lasting connection with nature and marine conservation.

 

Conservation Efforts:

Beyond our snorkeling safaris, we are actively engaged in preserving and enhancing the seagrass meadows. Our team conducts recreational boat surveys at Flushing, working towards bolstering protection measures through the installation of a new marker buoy. We extend an open invitation to all who share our passion for seagrass conservation. Your participation is not just welcome; it's essential.
