MCS works to protect our seas, shores and marine wildlife. Our vision is seas full of life – seas and coasts where nature flourishes and people thrive

Our seas are under threat – from pollution, overfishing and a lack of protection. MCS believes too much is being taken out and too much is being put into our seas. Our scientists, campaigners, volunteers, advocates, data experts, fundraisers, divers and researchers are all passionate about creating a sustainable future for our seas. Science and people – our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners – are at the heart of everything we do. We act because everyone relies on the ocean to survive, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. By helping people to discover, value and end enjoy being connected to our seas, we can all make better decisions today, ensuring seas full of life for future generations.
