About Us

The Marine Conservation Society is a UK-based charity dedicated to the protection of marine environments and wildlife. Their mission is to drive political, cultural, and social change to ensure healthy seas and coasts for future generations. They engage in various activities, including advocacy, education, and community engagement, to promote sustainable practices and policies.

Sustainability Efforts:

  • The Marine Conservation Society is committed to reducing plastic pollution and has been instrumental in campaigns that have led to legislative changes, such as the plastic bag charge in the UK.
  • They conduct regular beach clean-ups and have developed the Beachwatch program, which involves thousands of volunteers in cleaning and surveying beaches to gather data on marine litter.
  • The organization works on sustainable seafood initiatives, providing guidance to consumers and businesses on responsible seafood choices through their Good Fish Guide.
  • They collaborate with scientists and policymakers to advocate for the creation and management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to safeguard marine biodiversity.
  • While specific ESG reports or carbon footprint calculations for the Marine Conservation Society are not publicly detailed, their work is inherently focused on environmental sustainability and conservation.
