The UK now has a new government, one that will be in power during these pivotal years as we approach the 2030 deadline for multiple marine conservation targets. This presents a fresh opportunity to promote environmental policies that protect and restore the UK’s marine life and coastal communities.
We expect the new government to fulfil the promises they made before the election: To take decisive action in key areas such as banning bottom trawling in marine protected areas. We also hope a Labour government will act to end overfishing in UK waters and commit to reforming the social inequality in UK fishing. With your continued support, we will hold our new government to these tasks.
