The Marine Conservation Society is the UK's leading marine charity working towards a cleaner, better protected and healthier ocean, for everyone 🌊
Today, our ocean is in poor health because of human activity. We’re determined to change this, working with communities, businesses and governments.
For more than 30 years, we’ve been the voice of the sea, defending our coastal habitats and species. For a cleaner ocean, we find ways to prevent and clean up marine litter and pollution. And we use science to track the health of our waters. For a better-protected ocean, we secure spaces where species and habitats can recover.
Only a sea full of life can absorb carbon and tackle climate change. For a healthier ocean, we promote sustainable fishing and aquaculture to minimise harm caused by harvesting and farming resources. And we educate the public so consumers can make better seafood-buying choices.
Together, we can achieve our vision of seas full of life, where nature flourishes and people thrive.
We believe the power to restore our oceans lives in the coastal communities bearing witness to the planetary crises.
Our vision is a future where coastal life thrives in and out of the water. A future where communities have the agency and resources needed to protect their livelihoods, culture and biodiversity for generations to come.
We provide funding, data tools, training, and advocacy support to amplify community-powered change and shift national policies from exclusion to agency.
Through initiatives like Transform Bottom Trawling (transformbottomtrawling.org) and our growing network of 400 civil society organisations, we're catalysing a global movement.
