Let's bring our seas back to life

Become a Friend of Marine Conservation Zones

The UK’s seas are home to half our wildlife but many undersea habitats have already been lost, fish stocks have declined and species are at risk. In order to protect our seas, the UK Government are designating a network of Marine Conservation Zones around the English coast – areas of seabed where marine wildlife and habitats are protected. These, alongside other protected areas, can help give our seas the protection they need to recover and thrive. The Government has already designated 50 sites over 2 phases (2013 and 2016) and has committed to designating a third tranche of sites by 2018. We will be working hard to ensure this third and final tranche of sites is ambitious enough to give our seas the protection they deserve. But we need your help. Please join our growing team of ‘Friends of Marine Conservation Zones’ and help to ensure all these precious places get the protection they need. Become a Friend of MCZs and
