UK SEAS APPRECIATION POST 🌊
Tiny sea slugs. Giant sharks. Glowing jellyfish. Diving seabirds...
UK waters are more diverse, vibrant and alive than most people realise.
This #WorldOceanDay, let's celebrate the wildlife found right off our shores 💙
Our ocean does so much for us all. This #WorldOceanDay, the UK Government must do right by it and stop delaying on such critical protection measures!
#BanBottomTrawling in #MPAs
🌊 Happy #WorldOceanDay to everyone except the UK Government
A full year has rolled around, and we’ve yet to hear even a whisper of when the govt is going to properly protect our ocean havens from bottom trawling, after pledging to consider it LAST World Ocean Day. What is going on?! 😡 1/2
