Creation of Habitat Videos

The Project

Following release of State of Nature 2024, the Nature Commission engaged a local videographer to produce a series of habitat videos. The purpose of this was to further share information from the report with the wider community. Three habitat videos have been produced so far, but with many more habitats yet to be covered, contributions to this project would enable further beautiful visual products to be produced and shared as an educational tool.

Overview

As with any information sharing process, it's important to ensure that various formats are available to facilitate the digestion of the information across the community. State of Nature 2024 was released in October 2024 in a full report and summary report format. Since it's release, the Nature Commission has employed various ways to make the information contained within more accessible to the community of Guernsey.

One of those ways is by creating beautiful, visual videos of some of our local habitats, with an accompanying audio narrative. In this way, information on those particular habitats can be shared in an easily digestible format. The Nature Commission has produced three videos so far, and with a contribution from your organisation, further videos can be commissioned to include some of those habitats not yet covered in this format.

The first State of Nature 2024 video product produced was on coastal heathland. This video is available on the Nature Commission YouTube Channel, linked here.

This video was first shared publicly on 14th February 2025 via the Nature Commission's Facebook page, and has since accumulated nearly 9,500 views!

Outcomes

  • Increased Marine Biodiversity: Healthy reefs, protected breeding grounds, and restored ecosystems help support a wide range of marine species.
  • Improved Water Quality: Better management of runoff and waste reduces pollution, benefiting both marine life and local water sources.
  • Sustainable Tourism: Clear guidelines for eco-friendly diving, snorkelling, and fishing create a responsible tourism model, reducing the industry’s impact on marine ecosystems.
