Thank you for taking action to protect our seas. Sir David Attenborough's latest natural history film, Ocean, has shone a light on the horrendous impact bottom trawling has in the sea, but also the potential for marine life to recover if this is stopped. On Monday 9th June the Government has announced that they are launching a consultation to ban bottom trawling in 41 of offshore Marine Protected Areas. Areas which have been designated to protect the seabed. Banning this destructive activity is a great step forward BUT we must make sure the measures are implemented as soon as possible and across the whole site. Thank you for showing support for this consultation.

Thank you for submitting your thoughts to the consultation. Together, we can make sure that nature has a strong voice when decisions about development are made. Every person who adds their view strengthens the case for making biodiversity a priority.

Thank you for taking action. You’ve helped send a powerful message: wildlife and natural places need more protection, not less. We’re working to stop this. Will you chip in to help us reach more people and hold the Government to account?
Your donation can help protect nature for everyone.
