The Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre (SxBRC) is one of the many environmental record centres situated around the UK. It is a repository, custodian, manager and analyst of high-quality biodiversity, natural history and environmental information. We cover the two counties of East and West Sussex, including Brighton & Hove, in south east England. We are a small but dedicated team of environmental data management experts, naturalists and IT specialists.
SxBRC is managed as a partnership project. Our partners include local and national environmental organisations and many Borough and District Councils.
By strengthening relationships with naturalists and ecologists in Sussex, and other data holding organisations, the record centre has been growing year on year. The importance and value of this dataset is currently reflected by the continuing increase in the number of data requests and number of staff.
