We are the Marine Conservation Society, fighting for a cleaner, better protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.
Ocean emergency
Our ocean is at tipping point. Our waters are being polluted and habitats are being destroyed; harming species and reducing the ocean’s ability to help fight climate change.
Our action plan
Our goal is to recover the health of the ocean; for the sake of our wildlife, our climate and our own wellbeing.
