Blue Marine is dedicated to protecting and restoring life in the ocean. Our mission is to see at least 30 per cent of the ocean protected by 2030 and the whole ocean sustainably managed. We support low-impact fishing and equitable use of the ocean and address overfishing – one of the world’s biggest environmental challenges.

Our ambassadors

Blue Marine is a life raft. Blue Marine knows that while it isn’t too late to save ourselves by saving the oceans, the ticking of the clock is getting louder and louder. Without hysteria or hectoring, Blue Marine gets on with doing effective work that makes a difference – they deserve our support, applause and assistance.

Blue Marine delivers real, measurable conservation and proves what determined action can achieve. Championing the ocean with them keeps me grounded in what’s worth fighting for – and how urgent the fight for the ocean really is.

We all have a responsibility to try and return our world to the next generation in the state we inherited it, not worse. It would be a sad thing if in our dotage we’d be describing tuna fish to our grandchildren like we do a dodo today.

The ocean is a place where I really feel at peace. I am concerned about how our sea is under real threat from overfishing and malpractice. It’s an honour to be working with Blue Marine Foundation.
