Our campaigning goals

For people to thrive and live life to the fullest, the ocean must thrive too. And so we need to confront all that threatens it...

Water quality

We campaign for a clean ocean, rivers and lakes for wildlife and people.

We demand an end to sewage discharge into UK bathing waters by 2030.

Plastic pollution

We campaign to turn back the plastic tide choking the ocean.

We demand an end to plastic pollution on UK beaches by 2030.

Ocean recovery

We campaign to protect and restore the ocean wilderness.

We demand high protection status for 30% of the ocean and all UK Marine Protected Areas by 2030.

The ocean & climate emergency

We campaign to stop destructive global heating threatening all life in and above the ocean.

We demand that the UK achieves net zero, including the adoption of ocean-based solutions, by 2030.

Take part in the Million Mile Clean

We raise awareness of plastic pollution through mobilising hundreds of thousands of Ocean Activists, UK-wide, to clean their local environment. And the data we gather supports our campaigns against the polluters.

Time to Build a Generation of MPs fighting for the Ocean

We, the people, elected 650 Members of Parliament to make the laws that govern how the country is run. Today marks the first day in parliament for this new crop of MPs. And the start of a new opportunity to build a generation of MPs committed to protect the ocean.

Dear Prime Minister

You have the backing of the public to End Sewage Pollution. Now it’s time to deliver.
