Creating ocean activists everywhere. Latest on the Environment BillThe good, the bad and the uglyThe UK Government recently announced new targets for the Environment Bill. We've been campaigning hard to make sure it protects the ocean and the good news is that, for the first time ever, it includes targets for ocean habitats and biodiversity. The bad news is that the targets fall short of what's needed to tackle the environmental and climate crises we're facing - and to ensure a thriving ocean for the future. Find out what we're doing about it in our full analysis. Join the Plastic Protest We've launched a Plastic Protest to CHALLENGE manufacturers of pointless plastics, DEMAND the government take action and CHANGE public reliance on single-use plastic. Join the Plastic Protest by taking part in a range of actions from the 5th September, starting with cleans of your local beach, street, park or river. A warning from our Head of Campaigns If you’re planning on spending time in or on the water this summer, you need to watch this video from Amy Slack, our Head of Campaigns & Policy, to get the lowdown on the state of the UK’s bathing waters. Been ill from entering the sea? We've added a new feature to our Safer Seas Service app so you can report health issues. Whether you think you've become ill from contaminated water recently or a while ago, get the app and submit a Health Report to help our campaign to #EndSewagePollution. Fun(draise) in the sun! Why not set yourself a fundraising challenge for the bank holiday weekend? Whether you're walking, running, cycling, hopping - or something else to raise vital funds for the ocean - our Fundraising Pack has all the info you need. |
