NETWORKING EVENT
Networking Breakfast with Sussex Bay

*this event is now sold out*

You’re invited to discover Sussex Bay; a vision of hope supporting nature recovery across the sea, coast and rivers along 100 miles of Sussex coastline, from Selsey in the West to Camber Sands in the East. Hidden below the water, vital habitats and the vast array of life they support, are out of sight, out of mind. Exposed to diverse and increasing pressures, these precious ecosystems - our blue natural capital – have been catastrophically damaged or lost. Restoring these ecosystems and their blue natural capital helps protect our coasts from storms, clean our waters, store carbon and support biodiversity.

Adur & Worthing Councils initiated the development of a vision for Sussex Bay, leveraging opportunities in natural capital investment to secure funding and support projects for nature restoration.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and get involved in the pioneering efforts to safeguard Sussex Bay for future generations!

Date: Friday 19th July
Time: 7:30am - 9:00am
Cost: Members: £18 + VAT
Non-members: £24 + VAT
Venue: Marine Gardens, W Parade, Worthing
To include a full English breakfast, tea, coffee & juice

Event kindly sponsored by The Business Support Programme
