Code Blue: Save Devon's Seas
Code Blue: Save Devon's Seas
The waters surrounding Devon are home to some of the UK’s most extraordinary marine species - from seals and dolphins to seagrass meadows and sea slugs.
But pressures from overfishing, climate change, pollution, and increased coastal development are taking a toll on our marine wildlife.
We’re stepping up efforts to protect and restore our seas, and you can help make a difference.
Let’s turn the tide, starting today.
