🪸 Join us below the waters of the Chausey archipelago to witness one of the most remarkable and least-known habitats in the English Channel - maerl beds. Our new short film includes underwater footage of maerl and the voices of people whose futures are bound up in this ‘pink treasure’.

Maerl beds shelter marine life, acting as nurseries for commercially important species. These fragile habitats take centuries to form, yet can be crushed in minutes by bottom-towed fishing gear.

Despite the fact that Chausey is a marine protected area, its maerl beds continue to be degraded by dredging and bottom trawling. What is lost today cannot be rebuilt within a generation. We are taking action to ensure these habitats are protected in practice, not just on paper.
