Isles of Scilly Marine Biodiversity Project
The Isles of Scilly Marine Biodiversity Project is an exciting and ambitious project led by The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust to learn more about the wonderful marine life of Scilly and to celebrate this unique underwater world.
The project involves local people in recording and surveying marine life and works with local partners to make information on the marine environment freely available to everyone.
To discover more about the project and how to get involved visit the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust website.
Defra (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) has committed to funding 50 per cent of the project for two and a half years through the Natural England Countdown 2010 Biodiversity Action Fund. The Crown Estate is providing the rest of the funding through the Marine Communities Fund.
