Welcoming all into safe spaces
With communities, we are developing our participation thinking.
We’re shaping ways for people who do not normally get involved in the marine sector to do so. If you have ideas, we would love to hear from you. At our launch in June 2024, Dean Spears from the team said: “Whoever you are, whatever your background, whatever your care: you, we, are Sussex Bay and you are all welcome”.
