The Cove - Discovery Project Inspire • Connect • Protect
Driven by conservation, education & research, we spark understanding and empower stewardship. News!!! Drop in and say hi.

Proudly funding our projects through a sustainable clothing brand that makes a difference. We now have our own shop by Brixham harbour! We have created this exciting project to celebrate of the lives of both wildlife and people in and around Churston Cove, Brixham, Devon. The project is a collaboration of conservation and community which will create a series of local events including talks, educational programmes, art exhibition, live music, and wildlife conservation awareness. All focussed on ‘The Cove’. We aim for a sustainable approach to local conservation through community and creativity. The project will bring together; art, music and community in helping to raise awareness of this important wild space for both humans and wildlife. This is a celebration of a unique haven of beautiful thriving habitats, peaceful beaches and vibrant woodlands. Many thousands of people visit the cove annually. With continued increases in human activity, we are looking at ways to raise awareness of need to preserve the cove as an important wild space and celebrate its natural beauty for the benefit of all. Our launch event was held at Lupton House, Brixham on 13th May 2022 attended by over 100 people (thank you). The event included an exhibition of local artists, all focussed on the sea with a cove marine habitat talk by Duncan Kenny and Chris Thomas. If you can, please share our information to your personal and professional networks to help raise the awareness for the need to develop creative community based conservation solutions. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you at one (or more) of our project events or drop into our shop in Brixham (Middle Street).

Last autumn we shared the story of Pumpkin, Brixham’s first officially recorded grey seal pup.
It’s now been a full year since she headed out into the ocean as an independent youngster, learning to hunt, navigate, and thrive on her own.With autumn returning, our team and volunteers will be keeping a close eye on the coastline to see if Pumpkin comes home to the waters where she was born.
If you’re out walking the harbour or coast, let us know if you spot her — every sighting helps us understand how our local seals grow and travel. ❤️🤞🏼🦭 Devon Environment Foundation Brixham Town Council English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark MR FISH

Monday evening’s coastal survey with the Brixham Boys Brigade was a joy.
Knowledgeable, engaged, and full of enthusiasm — the lads explored Battery Gardens, Fishcombe, and Churston Cove while litter‑picking and searching for microplastics.These sessions build connection, confidence, and stewardship.
The Boys Brigade brought brilliant energy, curiosity, and genuine care for the coastline — a proper credit to themselves and their leaders.
Proud of you, boys 👍🏼 1st Brixham Boys Brigade Devon Environment Foundation Rockfish Brixham Brixham Town Council
