Marine Conservation Society

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the leading charity dedicated to protecting the UK’s seas, shores, and marine wildlife. Founded in 1983, MCS has been at the forefront of marine conservation efforts, advocating for sustainable practices and policies that benefit both the environment and local communities.

Our mission is to ensure that the seas around the UK are healthy, productive, and clean. We work tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of marine ecosystems and the threats they face from pollution, overfishing, and climate change.

MCS engages in a variety of activities, including:

• Research and Advocacy: Conducting scientific research to inform policy decisions and advocating for stronger marine protection laws.
• Community Engagement: Involving local communities in conservation efforts through beach clean-ups, educational programs, and volunteer opportunities.
• Campaigning: Running campaigns aimed at reducing plastic pollution, promoting sustainable seafood, and protecting marine habitats.

We believe that everyone has a role to play in marine conservation, and we strive to empower individuals and communities to take action. Our vision is a future where the UK’s seas are thriving with life, and marine resources are managed sustainably for generations to come.

Join us in our mission to protect our oceans and ensure a healthy marine environment for all.
