Rob Raimes

Trustee

Rob joined the board of Project Seagrass in 2023. His career was as a commercial lawyer in a central London law firm but he’s always been passionate about the natural world and wildlife and ecology in particular. As a boy it started, with rock pools (and crabs) and ponds (newts and grass snakes) as well as working one summer in a French zoo specialising in rare species breeding programmes. Latterly it’s fuelled by worries about the biodiversity crisis that is all around us.

Rob is a keen snorkeller and scuba diver and is as concerned about our oceans and coastlines as he is committed to and excited by the goals and work of Project Seagrass.

Rob has founded and now spends quite a bit of time managing a 25 acre rewilding project in Norfolk. He is thrilled to see amphibians, pollinators, dragonflies, birdlife and a host of other wildlife returning to the rejuvenating habitats being created.
