Urge your local council to take action for our Ocean! 📣 If you’ve just watched David Attenborough’s powerful new “Ocean” film and are wondering what you can do to make a difference, why not start locally? Motion for the Ocean is a powerful tool that helps put Ocean recovery at the heart of local decision-making, supporting healthier communities, stronger local economies, and thriving marine ecosystems. Developed by leading Ocean experts, including our very own Head of Ocean Advocacy & Engagement Nicola Bridge, this model motion helps both inland and coastal councils to tackle potentially competing ambitions of economic development, community health and wellbeing, and a healthy marine environment in a more holistic way. Already, councils across England and Wales have declared an urgent need for ocean recovery. But we need more local leaders to take action! Want to see your local council make a difference? Urge them to adopt the #Motion4TheOcean and be part of a growing movement to secure a healthy and productive future for our Ocean and coastal communities.

People are at the heart of Ocean conservation. At the Ocean Conservation Trust, we know that when people build an emotional connection with nature, they’re more likely to take action to protect it. That’s why our work is centred around people and positive action, because together, they shape the future of our Ocean. 🤝 We’re proud to run an award-winning Engagement Programme that is designed to inspire connection, understanding, and care for the Ocean. We focus on creating Ocean-literate citizens through fun, face-to-face, experiential learning delivered by our expert team. 📚 Our school Learning Programme has inspired over half a million students, using the Ocean as a powerful teaching tool across the curriculum. By integrating it into subjects from science to art, we’re nurturing the next generation of Ocean advocates. Whether in a classroom, at our Aquarium, or out in the community, we’re empowering people to connect with the Ocean in a way that’s meaningful to them, because a healthy Ocean needs everyone. (fb)
