Living Seas is The Wildlife Trusts’ vision for the future of the UK’s seas. Within Living Seas, marine wildlife thrives, from the depths of the ocean to the coastal shallows.
Marine Protected Areas and Petition Fish
Petition Fish is The Wildlife Trusts' new campaign to put pressure on the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments to create Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - sanctuaries for our sea life.
2012 should see the UK’s first network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) established under the Marine Act (2009). However, there are already signs that the proposed network will not adequately protect wildlife and some of our most important marine wildlife sites could even be missed off altogether.
The Wildlife Trusts are calling on the Government to deliver Marine Protected Areas that are:
In the right place – where nature conservation is required; support recovery from past decline - not just maintenance of their current, sometimes damaged condition, and managed well - with adequate regulation and controls.
The UK’s sea life is amazing – from colourful reefs to rare seahorses, vast seal colonies and migrating turtles and whales – but we need your help to ensure it gets the best possible protection.
