Search for Seaweed

The Marine Conservation Society [MSC] says that our marine environments are changing and need your help.

Seaweeds form habitats, creating shelter and providing food for an immense diversity of marine organisms and also support fish nurseries and commercial fisheries.

But our seas are changing – sea temperatures are increasing, sea levels are rising, the ocean is becoming more acidic, and non-native species are encroaching – all this is affecting the distribution and abundance of seaweeds around our coasts. To find out why this might be and what’s out there, the MSC has joined forces with the Natural History Museum to call on people like you to head to the coast this summer and take part in The Big Seaweed Search!

It’s easy to take part – simply sign up for your Big Seaweed Search guide and you’ll be contributing to vital research by exploring your local rocky shore.
