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!!! 🌱
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 😎🌊
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
