Stalked jellyfish, white hedgehog sea slugs and invasive Pacific oysters have been discovered on Kent’s coastline.

The fascinating discoveries have been made by Volunteer Citizen Scientists - who logged more than a hundred and sixty species at nine key locations on the coast.

The project is run by Kent Wildlife Trust who say the data’s critical for protecting our marine ecosystems.

Volunteers conducted surveys at nine key locations along the Kent coast, recording more than 160 species.
