The seas around the UK are home to a fascinating and rich diversity of marine life.
Turtles are regular visitors to the UK and are now protected in our waters.
Mantis shrimps, most commonly found in tropical seas, have been discovered in Cardigan Bay. But as an island nation surrounded by sea, we still so often ignore the benefits it brings us, and the life it contains. The health of our seas is threatened by overfishing and pollution, and many animal species are threatened along with the livelihoods and health of people who depend on the sea for work and pleasure. Oceans 2000 will outline many of the initiatives to protect marine life, with an emphasis on how you can get involved and contribute to these conservation projects, both at home and overseas. Entry to Oceans 2000 is open to everyone.
