The Marine Conservation Society

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

Our mission is to inspire and empower individuals and communities to take action for the marine environment. We believe that everyone can play a role in safeguarding our oceans, whether through education, volunteering, or supporting our campaigns.

Core Activities:

• Advocacy: We work with government bodies and stakeholders to influence marine policy and legislation.
• Education: Through various programs, we educate the public about marine conservation issues and promote responsible behaviour towards the ocean.
• Research: MCS conducts vital research to monitor the health of marine ecosystems and inform our conservation strategies.
• Community Engagement: We engage local communities in conservation activities, fostering a sense of stewardship for their coastal environments.

Our vision is a clean, healthy, and thriving ocean, rich in biodiversity and free from pollution. We strive to create a future where marine life can flourish, and people can enjoy the benefits of a healthy ocean.

Join us in our mission to protect the marine environment. Together, we can make a difference for our oceans and the wildlife that call them home.
