Hey

This is an emergency. [[link removed]]

We are at a critical point in tackling the climate crisis and we need your help.

Today, we have launched the Ocean and Climate Petition [[link removed]] to demand the UK government recognises the importance of a thriving ocean and to utilise its capacity as a solution to the climate crisis.

The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Conference (COP26) in November 2021. Our government has a responsibility to our blue planet, and the populations who depend on it, to place the ocean is at the centre of climate change negotiations. To ensure this happens, we are calling for:

1. Ocean rewilding and blue carbon habitat restoration

2. Implementation of Highly Protected Marine Areas

3. Recognition of the importance of marine ecosystems for human wellbeing

SIGN THE PETITION [[link removed]]

Why is this important?

The ocean is under threat from human activity. Alongside the destruction caused by deep-sea mining, unsustainable fishing and pollution; climate change is causing ocean temperatures and acidity levels to rise dramatically. These changes are driving marine ecosystems and species to extinction and putting populations here in the UK, and across the world, at extreme risk.

As much as we depend on all blue spaces for our mental and physical wellbeing, the ocean now depends on us for its survival; and as we step into the UN Ocean Decade, we must come together to shout for the ocean, before it is too late.

Sign the petition today [[link removed]] to make sure the voice of the ocean is heard within the climate crisis.

Thank you for your support,

For the Ocean,

Team SAS
