This summer we’re going to be patrolling the UK seas to uncover illegal and destructive fishing practices by giant trawlers. By sailing into the eye of the storm, we’re able to witness just how urgently the government needs to level up ocean protection. So we’ve acquired a boat, assembled a crew, and invited some incredible scientists, influencers and celebs onboard to help us in our mission.
But Operation Ocean Witness is about more than investigating what’s wrong, we’ll be working with coastal communities and small-scale fishers who have been left behind, to try and promote their role as responsible guardians of our seas. And we’ll be showcasing the best of our beautiful waters to you, because this ocean belongs to all of us.
Regardless of where you are this summer, you’ll be welcome onboard Operation Ocean Witness, via our action packed digital events, Q&As and giveaways.
World Oceans Day gives us a chance to hope and have our voices heard. Thanks to supporters like you, the government is listening and planning to upgrade protection in a few Marine Protected Areas, but we need them to go much further and strengthen protection for the whole network. Can you share this video with your MP? So that they pressure Boris Johnson to take action and understand that there’s never been a better chance to get ocean protection done.
