Ocean conservation

The UK government is boasting about the 31 conservation zones it created to protect marine habitats. That's just not the true story. 96 conservation zones were rejected by the UK government, meaning about three quarters of ocean-saving conservation zones will NOT come to the ocean's rescue.

The UK government’s own scientific advisors said 127 conservation zones are needed if ocean life is going to have a shot at sustainability. The 31 conservation zones the UK plans to create are just a small sliver of what the environment needs. The UK government is taking a weak stance in the face of firm scientific evidence and a crumbling marine environment.

Now is the time to listen to the experts--all of which understand that this is our chance to save species from plummeting. The UK government is taking baby steps when it should be taking giant leaps toward a thriving ocean.

Tell the UK government: Create ALL 127 ocean conservation zones!
