Speaking up for our seas
As a result of MCS work over the past 25 years, marine conservation is increasingly in the public eye and in the minds of those in whose hands the future of our seas lie.
Find out how you can help MCS reach every household, every politician and every business with the message that the sea is important to them and how we can redress the years of pollution, overfishing and neglect.
“I really believe the key thing that people should do is spend more time by, on or in the sea because that way they can begin to understand why it is so special and why marine conservation is so important. It makes the job of anyone involved that much easier because once someone has experienced how special our sea is, they will think twice about dropping litter on the beach or flushing plastic cotton buds down the loo.”
Kate Humble, TV presenter and MCS supporter
