Marine Conservation Society: Big Seaweed Search

Location: UK

Topics include: Seaweed

Our coast is home to an amazing variety of seaweeds. 650 different species live and grow around the UK. Discovering where and how they grow can tell us vital information about our climate. The more data we gather, the more knowledge and influence we have to fight for the future of our seas.

The Big Seaweed Search is a joint project between the Marine Conservation Society and the Natural History Museum. The Big Seaweed Search asks volunteers to identify, photograph and record 14 key species of seaweed that can be found around the UK coastline.
