Seasearch

Seasearch is a project for volunteer sports divers who have an interest in what they’re seeing under water, want to learn more and want to help protect the marine environment around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. Any dive can be a Seasearch dive!

The main aim is to map out the various types of sea bed found in the near-shore zone around the whole of the Britain and Ireland. In addition we are recording what lives in each area, establishing the richest sites for marine life, the sites where there are problems and the sites which need protection.

The Marine Ranger is a Seasearch Observer Tutor so can arrange courses for dive groups and check Seasearch forms. For more information about the project please visit the Seasearch website.
