No apologies for banging on about the problem of invasive Rhododendron ponticum this #INNSWeek. It's a serious threat to our native flora. Here's how you can help:
1. Talk to your local garden centre about it
2. Inform others &/or share our posts
3. Volunteer to remove it from your community 1/2

Our Shoresearch volunteers recorded the Brush Clawed Shore Crab, Hemigrapsus takanoi, at Pett Level in April.
Originating from Eastern Asia, this species has previously been recorded around the Thames Estuary and Kent coast; we believe this may be the first record in Sussex.
