We are the Marine Conservation Society, fighting for a cleaner, better protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.
Big Seaweed Search
Discovering where and how seaweeds grow around the UK can tell us vital information about our climate.
Wildlife sightings
We want to hear about the wildlife you spot at the coast and at sea, especially marine turtles and jellyfish in UK and Irish waters.
Find a beach clean
Every year thousands of people run beach cleans all over the country. Take a look and find one near you.
