Hastings Heroes!
Do you love the planet? Do you care about our sea and the future of this coastline?
We’ve already begun early-stage kelp research off Hastings - collecting spores, growing them in tanks, and developing methods to support future restoration of our coastline.
This is a local project, built and run by local people, with a ntional vision, focused on understanding how kelp can recover in our waters. But without immediate support, this work cannot continue.
These businesses and supporters are helping keep it going. Join them.
Every contribution directly supports the next stage - materials, equipment, and ongoing monitoring - while also helping us build something bigger: hands-on education with local schools, connecting the next generation to marine science and their local environment.
Take your place on this wall and be part of the group supporting this work, here in Hastings, right now.
