It’s disappointing to see the EU opposing world-leading UK sandeel protections. Closing sandeel fisheries will help protect puffins & other seabirds, whales, dolphins and seals & boost fish like Haddock. We’re 100% behind Defra UK pressing ahead with these protections

Great to be at Heriot-Watt today with the #RestorationForth team stringing #European Flat oysters to be deployed to the #Forth tomorrow. Great to meet new faces, and with such a positive aim in mind.. to help reverse nature and biodiversity decline where we can. #ostreaedulis

👏🏻Brilliantly argued by Chris Stark at Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee (expanding on & emphasising some of what he said to Laura Kuenssberg recently), about the wide-ranging, multiple benefits of progressing & achieving #NetZero , being collaborative, & getting our discourse into a more positive space.💯

Good news, but it didn’t need the cost and delay of a consultation. Comes across as PR gimmick

Yesterday, Ben Macpherson MSP asked Chris Stark how he thought we could all get our collective political discourse in a better place, when it comes to achieving net zero 👇

Where is the vision for a capital city & coastal destination, beloved & protected by the community, for swimming, sailing, sightseeing, celebrating our local history? No #SUDS , no imagination, no nature. Concrete is not wellbeing. Neither does it work in a storm. It's all wrong.

There are a few places left for Saturday. Sign up! #changemakers

After #decades of beach litter surveying by 1000s of our dedicated Marine Conservation Society volunteers recording wet wipes spoiling our beaches, delighted with plans to ban plastic-containing wipes across the UK (with medical exemptions).

Thank you #oceanheroes all 🌊🌍

This really is good news, but why it's taken so long beggars belief. Sewage systems, rivers & seas are in a worse state for this insidious product. Manufacturers should pay to repair the damage. Congrats to all those who have highlighted & fought for this issue, not least Marine Conservation Society

Single use wet wipes containing plastic are to be banned!

Fantastic news for beaches & thanks to our Marine Conservation Society Beachwatch volunteers who have gathered data over decades!

Over 21,000 wet wipes were found on UK beaches in 2023 - now let’s wipe out wet wipes from our beaches!

We knew about the huge scale of sewage pollution 15 years ago. The scale & frequency of discharges. There were many who disagreed or continued to ignore it. Or cover it up. We uncovered the truth, pioneering real-time monitoring & exposing the lies of the water industry. We built…

🇵🇼🇨🇷🇻🇺🇪🇸🇩🇪🇨🇱🇮🇪🇫🇷🇧🇷 Deep sea champions at #OurOcean2024 urge more countries to join the movement to #DefendTheDeep . The message to ISBA-HQ is clear: #deepseamining is incompatible with international law, science and sustainable development.
