Channel Isles

The balmy waters of the Channel Isles are home to colourful species that are rare on the British coast. Triggerfish and red mullet cruise around stunning coral reefs and delicate pink seafans thrive. Shoals of pouting, orange cuckoo wrasse and conger eels take refuge in wrecks and in deeper waters, rocks are covered in jewel anemones.

Message from our sponsor: Fat Face loves life outside the 9-5 and being outdoors. So to do their bit to help protect the places we play in and get more people out there they've set up the Fat Face Foundation. The Foundation works with organisations to enable people to actively enjoy the outdoors and respect the environments we play in. Fat Face has always had the sea close to its heart and sees the link between the Foundation and the Marine Conservation Society as being a natural fit. The Fat Face Foundation has already adopted a beach to clean to be part of the fight against beach litter. The Foundation believes that we all have a part to play in protecting our seas as well, so is proudly supporting the Your Seas Your Voice campaign to highlight the lack of protected areas around the UK coasts and would urge individuals to do the same.
