The seas around the UK have the potential to be among the most productive and wildlife-rich on Earth. However they are severely threatened by human disregard for these fragile habitats. Our seas have a remarkable ability to recover from damage but only if we give them a chance. We hope to raise awareness of the damage that pollution causes marine habitats and reduce human impact. In this way we can create living seas where marine wildlife thrives.
