A spokesperson said it wants to "bring communities closer to their local marine environment" and "increase access to coastal nature and wildlife", including jobs in marine conservation.
Sussex Bay aims to generate a £50m fund for marine and fresh-water restoration projects by 2050, driven by a "shared a vision of a healthy ecosystem for our ocean and coastline". The project could see kelp, oyster beds and salt marsh reintroduced along the sea bed, in an attempt to combat climate change and encourage wildlife.
