Dorset Wildlife Trust is enlisting divers and kayakers to help with marine conservation.
Two new groups have been set up to promote conservation of the underwater landscapes and the species living there.
Emma Rance, marine officer at Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Fine Foundation Marine Centre, said: “We know that lots of people who enjoy water sports in the area want to know more about the wildlife that they see and to help with its conservation. “We came up with the idea of online groups to share the latest sightings and wildlife information.”
Membership of the groups is free and includes marine wildlife identification guides, a free presentation about Underwater Dorset and discount on membership of Dorset Wildlife Trust.
