It was brilliant to see thousands of you get stuck into our activities and events and we hope you enjoyed connecting with our marine environment and like-minded ocean enthusiasts. This month, we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of our Big Seaweed Search partnership with the Natural History Museum. From the 27th July – 2nd August, citizen scientists from across the UK will be heading out to the coast to record the different types of seaweed present, and we’d love for you to join in! This free, fun activity is suitable for all ages and you can find all the resources and training you need on our website.
