If there is no local group near you, there are other ways you can get involved.

Protect the Oceans

From climate change and plastics, to deep sea mining and overfishing - the threats facing our world’s oceans are growing bigger and more urgent day by day. Local groups in the UK are working with our global movement to call on Government to deliver a strong Global Oceans Treaty at the UN next year which could protect over a third of the world's seas from these threats.
