National Marine Parks - A Vision for British Seas
In the 1949 National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, no-one thought about the sea being part of a National Park. “ Blue Marine Foundation has created this vision to start a conversation and invite you to join a new journey – to explore where and how this could work for Britain.”– Natasha Bradshaw, National Marine Parks Research Advisor. This is the start of a conversation about the purpose and benefits of National Marine Parks in Britain.

Entering the Twilight Zone: The Ecological Role and Importance of Mesopelagic Fishes
Ocean waters between 200 and 1000m deep – the Twilight Zone – sustain immense quantities of fish, believed to be greater than the combined mass of all fish living closer to the surface, that the fishing industry is keen to exploit. But their value to the planet’s life support system and in climate mitigation is likely far greater than their value as food. We must urgently protect them from fishing while we undertake research to determine their importance in global ocean processes.

In Clear Sight - Shining a Light on the Opaque Deep-Sea Mining History
The deep ocean is the largest ecosystem on the planet, providing 95 per cent of all habitable space. With less than 1 per cent of it explored, there is no place on Earth that we know less about. Once mined, we will not see recovery of those habitats in human timescales, leaving nodule-dwelling species, such as corals, sponges and anemones, without a home.
