Closed PROTECT 25% OF THE UK SEAS FROM COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION

Closed on

The UK's marine conservation policies lag far behind land conservation. It is time to put that right.

Many marine species and habitats are now endangered or severely over-exploited and to ensure a healthy marine ecosystem for future generations we must protect at least 25% of the UK seas from commercial exploitation.
