Your Seas Your Voice - the campaign to safeguard our seas
The success of our campaigns for UK and Scottish Marine Acts means that the creation of a network of
Marine Protected Areas in UK seas is now possible. There has never been a better time to safeguard our seas.
You can make a difference!
Voting in Wales is closing by the end of January 2012 so we can get data ready for the public consultation due in Spring. Voting on sites in Scotland will remain open for the time being, so please make a difference by voting for Welsh and Scottish sites now.
Voting is now closed on Your Seas Your Voice in England, but we will need all the help we can get to keep the pressure on government to designate a network of MCZs so please sign up for updates and we'll let you know how you can help make a difference.
4 days to go to have your say about sites in Wales!
