The marine conservation charity, Sea Changers is holding a virtual festival to mark their 10th anniversary and to highlight some of the projects it has helped fund

Sea Changers is holding a virtual festival to highlight the projects it has supported over the last 10 years.

The marine conservation charity was started in 2011 by two amateur divers, Rachel Lopata and Helen Webb.

It provides grants to UK marine charities and non-profits for conservation and research projects, proving that small sums of money distributed around the UK’s seas and shores can catalyse new ideas, seed practical action and reach new audiences.

Run entirely by volunteers, Sea Changers also works with businesses and individuals to raise funds for its projects.

The Sea Changers festival runs from 23-30 June 2021.

The line-up includes representatives from The Shark Trust, The National Lobster Hatchery, Cornwall Seal Research Group and Project Seagrass.

Marine biologist Helen Scales, explorer Heather Koldewey, presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff, Yachting Monthly editor Theo Stocker and coastal ecologist Maya Plass will also be taking part.
