SAVING OUR OCEANS The sea is under immense pressure. Too many fish are being taken out and too much rubbish is being thrown in. Blue Marine Travel are supporting the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) which is the UK s leading marine charity - the national voice for marine conservation. MCS wants UK seas to be rich in marine life and fish stocks, where beaches and bathing waters are pollution free. We are starting our mission in support with the introduction of Blue Marine Travel s reusable bottle. The bottle comes with a clip so you can attach it to your belt whilst you work. We will be supporting the Marine Conservation Society by attending events and raising awareness through our website and social media. Ocean Clean has been recruited as our mascot who will also be helping us raise awareness. If you would like to get involved please get in touch. We can work together to save our oceans. oceanclean@bluemarinetravel.com Plastic is becoming the sea life s biggest threat to their existence and 99% of all seabirds will have ingested plastic by 2050 if nothing is done to reverse the trend. Helping Blue Marine's fight against plastic in our waters.
