Don’t be surprised if you see sharks, starfish, skate, seabirds and SCUBA divers ‘swimming’ up the South Bank this morning.  

Led by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and FishFight, the Marine Conservation Society, Sea Life, British Sub Aqua Club and supporters are marching on Westminster, calling for better protection of our marine environment.

As we said last week, we welcome all efforts to highlight the urgent need for better protection for the marine environment.  Well done to everyone taking part and doing their bit.

Whether you are able to take part in the march or not, you can add your voice to the call for an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas (MPAs) around the UK by adding your name to our e-actions.

Come back next week to help protect the seas around England.

We expect the next steps for Wales and Scotland to happen in the summer.  Why not sign up to this blog to get a reminder straight in to your inbox?
