Safeguard our Sea Life – help strengthen the Draft Marine Bill
 

Dear Supporter

Safeguard our Sea Life – help strengthen the draft Marine Bill

Some of the most fascinating creatures on the planet – including bottle-nosed dolphins, sea horses and corals – and a spectacular variety of seabirds – such as puffins and kittiwakes – are under pressure from human activities and developments in the seas around the UK.

In response to this threat, the RSPB’s Safeguard our Sea Life campaign has been calling for comprehensive legislation to protect the UK's marine environment. Thank you for all of the support you have already given this campaign.

On 3 April this year, the Government published its draft Marine Bill moving one step closer to enacting this vital legislation.  However, this is not the end of our campaign – the draft Bill’s positive proposals need to be secured, and negative ones improved so that the full Bill that emerges from this process results in robust laws and provides effective marine protection

Please help by making a submission to the public consultation on the draft Bill. Click on this link to be taken to a page with more information and a template submission that you can adapt if you wish.

It only takes a minute and every submission counts. Join our campaign and make yourself heard – be a voice for nature today.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely

Sally Webber
Head of Government Affairs
