Join the Quest to Protect Jersey's Unique Wildlife!

A groundbreaking research initiative has officially launched along Jersey's stunning southeast coast, aiming to safeguard the area’s rich wildlife. This coastal paradise is not just picturesque; it’s part of a Ramsar site—an internationally recognized wetland brimming with biodiversity, featuring mudflats, vibrant seagrass beds, intriguing rock pools, and robust boulder reefs.

Get Involved and Make a Difference!

Supported by Sociétés Jersiaise and funded by the Channel Islands Lottery via the Jersey Community Foundation, this project is all about harnessing data and exploring innovative methods to monitor biodiversity in this crucial habitat.

Researcher Megan Newstead expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "This coast is not only beautiful but also vital for wildlife. I’m thrilled to invite the community to take part and help us protect this gem." As fieldwork ramps up, dependent on weather conditions and tides, local volunteers will have a unique opportunity to participate in data collection.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Environmentalists!

Newstead encourages young scientists and eco-enthusiasts to dive into this hands-on experience. "I hope it inspires them to roll up their sleeves, engage with the shoreline, and work with real data to monitor and protect this remarkable part of our island!"

A Call to Action for Conservation!

Rebecca J Bailhache, Chief Executive of Sociétés Jersiaise, highlighted the significance of this initiative. "We’re proud to support this vital work. It’s a fantastic opportunity for individuals to engage in scientific research and influence future conservation efforts.” Join this exciting venture and be part of something meaningful!
