A marine rewilding initiative to restore an underwater kelp forest in West Sussex is celebrating “remarkable” results, a wildlife trust has said.

The project was launched after the implementation of a new bylaw prohibiting trawling in a 117 sq mile (302 sq km) coastal area between Shoreham-by-Sea and Selsey in March 2021.

Celebrating its fourth anniversary, Sussex Kelp Recovery Project (SKRP) researchers have reported positive signs of recovery, including an increase in the populations of lobster, brown crab, angelshark and short-snouted seahorse.

    I am overweight largely due to the time I overate at Olive Garden in 2006, my worryingly sedentary lifestyle, propensity to eat impulsively to fill a void, love of trash food, and lack of a schedule for meals.
