26th July - 10th August 2025
National Marine Week is our celebration of UK seas running from 26th July - 10th August 2025
We're also holding lots of fun events and diving into our spectacular marine world on social media and through our blogs to inspire those of you who can't get out to our coast.
National Marine Week is the perfect time to stand up for our underwater wildlife at risk. We've put together some easy actions you can take below:
Because National Grid made an error when publishing their notice under Regulation 9, a new period for relevant representations on the Sea Link project will now run from Friday 18 July to Monday 18 August. Interested Parties can submit their representations during this time. Only those who have registered as an interested party can continue to comment on the planning process. If you miss this chance, you will not be able to continue in the fight to Rethink Sea Link. We are asking the National Grid to examine an alternative route for cable linking Suffolk and Kent due to fears that decisions are based on the cheapest cost rather than minimising cost to wildlife at Pegwell Bay.
If you watched David Attenborough's Ocean, you'll have seen the devastation that bottom trawling wreaks on the seabed. Did you know that bottom trawling is still allowed in many Marine Protected Areas? We want this to stop. We're calling for bottom trawling to be banned in seabed Marine Protected Areas, and we need your help.
