Mission Statement
The Marine Conservation Society is the UK’s leading marine charity. We work to increase awareness of the growing need to protect our seas, shores and wildlife for future generations in the face of pollution, overfishing and climate change. Our aim is to reduce litter in our seas and on our beaches, achieve better protection for marine wildlife and habitats and encourage people to only eat sustainable seafood.
About This Cause
The Marine Conservation Society is the UK’s leading marine charity. Our role is to educate and inspire people to change their habits, opinions and preconceptions to help preserve our oceans for generations to come. We’ve treated our seas with little respect for too long - too many fish have been taken out, too much rubbish put in and we’ve assumed the sea needs no special protection. Now our seas are paying the price for the years of neglect – species in decline, rising levels of litter and damaging activities allowed to go unrestricted. Our role is to help Governments realise protection is needed, consumers understand that sustainable seafood is the right choice and more people than ever know the dangers of marine litter. We believe that the key drivers for change are to inform and involve people, communities and stakeholders in our work and influence decision makers and businesses through public engagement and collaboration, as well as through direct advocacy and campaigns. Our work has resulted in the creation of marine protected areas around the UK, carrier bag charges to reduce litter and supermarkets more aware of the need to stock sustainable seafood. Donors and supporters are vital to our success, and without their generous support we wouldn’t be able to carry out our important marine conservation work. We are proud of the fact that over 80% of all our income is spent on conservation work - from campaigning for marine protected areas to clearing litter from beaches and working with industry to encourage more sustainable fishing practices.
