Seasearch is a citizen science project developed by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) in the UK. Guernsey Seasearch is a La Société project in association with the Guernsey Biodiversity Partnership group and Seasearch in the UK.

The aim of Seasearch nationally is to gather information on seabed habitats and associated marine wildlife through the participation of volunteer divers and snorkellers, directed and advised by experts. In addition to this, the aim of Guernsey Seasearch is to help deliver the objectives of the States of Guernsey 2020 Strategy for Nature.

This project enables the collection of quality local marine data in a format comparable to the UK, whilst also educating and qualifying local individuals to take part in the project and learn more about local marine conservation. It allows for the collection of data where little data exists, where there is conservation need or to build on previous data collections.

If you have an interest in our beautiful marine environment, get in touch to find out how you can help. We are always looking for volunteers – you don’t need to be a diver or have any expertise; you only need to be interested! 

Courses, presentations, and other events are organised by the Guernsey Seasearch Team.  Please email guernseyseasearch@gmail.com for more information.

Guernsey Seasearch is funded under the States of Guernsey Strategy for Nature Fund and administered by La Société Guernesiaise.
