Will you become an ocean recovery accelerator?

David Attenborough’s ‘Ocean’ is upsetting and hopeful in equal parts. The damage we are doing to our seas through unsustainable fishing and other industrial activities, including pollution, must stop.

We are dedicated ocean accelerators; protecting our ocean from further harm and helping improve the speed at which the habitat and all the creatures that call it home can recover from decades of exploitation. Find out the ways you can turn the tide on our ocean's future today.

Make waves through a donation or membership

We’re actively restoring and regenerating our seas for species, habitats and our planet.

Your donations will make a huge difference towards our ambitious new Atlantic Coasts project to re-introduce ‘superhero’ species like native oysters, seagrass and kelp in UK waters.

Thanks to financial support, we’ve launched a four-year project to restore native oysters in Milford Haven, Wales - building on our success in the Firth of Forth and Dornoch Firth, Scotland.

We’ve also restored 123 hectares of seagrass meadows in Cawsand Bay, Plymouth, using 17 Advanced Mooring Systems—boosting seagrass density by 212%.

Seagrass is essential for marine life and absorbs 35 times more CO₂ than rainforests, making its protection vital in tackling climate change.

Dive into taking action

Our Sea Champion volunteers see first hand how their actions make a difference to the recovery of the ocean.

13,248 beach clean volunteers cleared 17 tonnes of litter in 2023, cleaning up debris before it affected our local wildlife including marine turtles and seabirds.

We also developed our understanding of sensitive marine habitats such as South Arran and Loch Carron in Scotland, with our volunteer divers spending a total of 1,336 hours completing underwater surveys.

Our volunteers, based all over the United Kingdom, make a huge contribution to our advocacy work by accumulating the unignorable data that makes it possible to push for legislative change in our governments, influence industry practices, and drive our campaigns.

Remain current on other ways to accelerate ocean restoration

Sign up to our enews to stay informed of all the latest news on our projects, campaigns, and other ways you can support ocean restoration all over the country.

Our persistent campaigning and advocacy for the reduction of marine pollution from overflow sewers, with help from your signatures, resulted in the Government introducing plans for tackling this source of sewage in our seas and estuaries.
