Will you become an ocean recovery accelerator?

David Attenborough’s ‘Ocean’ is upsetting and hopeful in equal parts. The damage we are doing to our seas through unsustainable fishing and other industrial activities, including pollution, must stop.

We are dedicated ocean accelerators; protecting our ocean from further harm and helping improve the speed at which the habitat and all the creatures that call it home can recover from decades of exploitation. Find out the ways you can turn the tide on our ocean's future today.

Use your voice to accelerate ocean restoration at the UN Ocean Conference (9-13th June)

The first step to protect our ocean is to get the High Seas Treaty signed with your help.

Use our quick letter template to email your MP and demand a cleaner, healthier and better protected ocean.

Make waves through a donation or membership

We’re actively restoring and regenerating our seas for species, habitats and our planet.

Your donations will make a huge difference towards our ambitious new Atlantic Coasts project to re-introduce ‘superhero’ species like native oysters, seagrass and kelp in UK waters.

Thanks to financial support, we’ve launched a four-year project to restore native oysters in Milford Haven, Wales - building on our success in the Firth of Forth and Dornoch Firth, Scotland.

Seagrass cover in Plymouth Sound has recovered by an impressive 212% over the past four years. This follows our successful work in introducing sustainable mooring systems and voluntary No Anchor Zones in Cawsand Bay and Portland Harbour working in partnership with Natural England, Ocean Conservation Trust, Royal Yachting Association and Plymouth City Council/Tamar Estuaries Consultative Forum

Seagrass is essential for marine life and absorbs 35 times more CO₂ than rainforests, making its protection vital in tackling climate change.

Dive into taking action

Our Sea Champion volunteers see first hand how their actions make a difference to the recovery of the ocean.

13,248 beach clean volunteers cleared 17 tonnes of litter in 2023, cleaning up debris before it affected our local wildlife including marine turtles and seabirds.

We also developed our understanding of sensitive marine habitats such as South Arran and Loch Carron in Scotland, with our volunteer divers spending a total of 1,336 hours completing underwater surveys.

Our volunteers, based all over the United Kingdom, make a huge contribution to our advocacy work by accumulating the unignorable data that makes it possible to push for legislative change in our governments, influence industry practices, and drive our campaigns.

Make a splash for ocean restoration through your business

We are always keen to talk with companies who are looking for ways to support ocean recovery and help us in our mission to accelerate ocean restoration.

Our experienced Corporate Partnership team work with over 60 businesses to ensure that their generous donations make a significant impact towards improving the health of our ocean.

Whether you are looking for ways to achieve your CSR goals, or looking for a unique staff engagement day, like our Company Team Beach Cleans, which engaged 2,180 company volunteers on the beach last year, we would love to hear from you.
