Silent Seas is a Marine Conservation Society report highlighting the urgent need for conservation action for UK seas. The report documents the damaging effects of over-fishing, coastal pollution and inadequate habitat protection and warns that without radical mitigation, UK seas could suffer ecological disaster.
A full copy of the report can be downloaded here, and a series of three backing papers are also available which provide the evidence behind the key messages in Silent Seas.
