Hastings Kelp Project

The Hastings Kelp Project is dedicated to restoring and protecting the kelp forests along the Sussex coast. Once thriving, these underwater ecosystems have been lost to decades of dredging, climate change, and pollution. We’re working to bring them back.

Through science, community action, and education, HKP is building a blueprint for marine restoration. From underwater surveys and lab research to local outreach and school engagement, our mission is to reconnect Hastings with the sea and secure a healthier future for people and wildlife.
