When completing the form consider what makes your project stand out. For example, how are you engaging with the local community, how are you ensuring the sustainability of the project, how will you measure success, and so on.

If your project meets the criteria and is shortlisted, Sea-Changers may arrange for one of their representatives to discuss the planned project in more detail with you. Application decisions will be made by Sea-Changers Trustees with specialist advice provided by marine biologist Helen Scales.
