BEEP

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay!!! The perfect time to launch our new #BEEP Bailiwick Eelgrass Exploration Project, Twitter 😃 We have a wonderful new logo, designed by @pierregsy and March is #SeagrassAwarenessMonth so we’ll be sharing more about our project, partners & members!!! 🌱

Today is #WorldOceanDay - let’s all commit to action of this years theme “Wonder: Sustaining what sustains us.” I commit to volunteering with the amazing @BEEP to learn more about our #eelgrass beds, to ensure it’s long term protection! What’s your commitment to the ocean?

If you have the time why not: - do an personal beach clean - even if it is just three items! - record what you find via irecord - head out to complete a Seasearch form #WorldOceansDay @AlderneyWT @LaSocieteG #BiodiversityPartnership #guernseyseasearch

Happy #worldoceansday 🙌🪼🐙🐟🐬🦈🐳🌱 Whatever you are up to today in the sea, from working, playing, traveling past or on, reading about it or just watching the waves roll by, whatever you choose, have a great day near the big blue 😎🌊
