One Atlantic Coast

Saving our spectacular wildlife like dolphins, cuttlefish, spiny seahorses and puffins starts here. When you give a little, we can save a lot.

We are a leading UK environmental charity, working for our ocean’s future by driving political and social change through science and evidence - protecting habitats and regenerating ecosystems with communities, businesses and governments.

Regenerating our Atlantic Coast

The UK's Atlantic Coast is under threat from the worsening biodiversity crisis and the climate emergency, with pollution and habitat loss putting our marine life, coastal communities, and planet at risk. That's where we come in.
