Welcome to Seasearch
If you're a recreational diver or snorkeller looking for a new challenge, Seasearch offers an exciting way to learn about marine life while doing your bit to protect and restore our ocean. By collecting information about the habitats, plants and animals you see underwater, you'll be helping us track the health of our marine environments.
The project is led by Seasearch with support from our coordinators and partner organisations. We need data from sites all around Britain and Ireland, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Wherever you dive, you can take part and you don't have to be a marine expert. Our training courses will teach you everything you need to become a volunteer – whether it's with your club, your buddy or on a Seasearch dive expedition.
Any dive can be a Seasearch Dive!
Information collected under the water about the marine life and where it lives has made a big difference to what’s known about out seas. Seasearch helps organisations involved with conservation and management by supplying them with information. In recognition of its value, Seasearch received funding from many oganisations.
