Marine turtles in the UK

 

Protecting these ocean wanderers in UK seas

MCS is a lead partner on the UK Species Action Plan for marine turtles and coordinates the Action Plan steering group. We promote the reporting of turtles in UK waters, distribute the UK Turtle Code and support the rescue and rehabilitation of live turtles stranded on UK shores. Report your UK turtle sightings here on the MCS website.
