A new scheme aimed at restoring the marine environment in Sussex has been launched.

Sussex Bay, external brings together organisations, groups and individuals from along the Sussex coastline who want to help care for coastal habitats.

The campaign aims to protect 100 miles of coastline from Selsey to Camber Sands.

A spokesperson said it wants to “bring communities closer to their local marine environment” and “increase access to coastal nature and wildlife”, including jobs in marine conservation.

Sussex Bay aims to generate a £50m fund for marine and fresh-water restoration projects by 2050, driven by a “shared a vision of a healthy ecosystem for our ocean and coastline”.
