Jersey Marine Conservation

Jersey Marine Conservation Logo

Topics include: Alien or Invasive Species; Archaeology/Heritage; Climate Change; Coastal Communities; Conservation; Environment/Sustainability; Ocean Literacy; Rocky reefs; Wildlife rescue

Country/Region: Jersey


We are Jersey Marine Conservation – run by volunteers, a proactive, legally registered and a Government of Jersey approved Charity.

Our team strives to protect our marine environment primarily by gathering data in support of marine protection, on-going bio-diversity recording and associated research. As equally important, we engage the community through the Marine Watch schools program, in why Marine Conservation is so important, ensuring that our surrounding seas are valued, looked after and managed, to provide a healthy marine environment that functions as a living organism and a sustainable resource.

The organisation is based in Jersey, Channel Islands and began as Jersey Seasearch in 2012. Our Island is a Crown Dependency with our own Government, laws, customs and unique identity. The marine environment is not protected effectively by UK laws or International treaties. No species living in our territorial waters are fully protected from over exploitation or harm. Even marine mammals, such as Seals and Dolphins, have little in the way of habitat legislation to safeguard their existence. We have won numerous awards for our work including the only Association of Jersey 50th Anniversary Award, UK National Biodiversity Marine Award, Insurance Corporation Award in 2014 and 2022.

All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. We’re experiencing a growing realization that nature is our life-support system and that no one will be spared from the impacts of its loss.

We are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030 – a New Deal for Nature and People as comprehensive as the global climate deal.

Working with many others – from individuals and communities to business and government – WWF urgently seeks to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainable.

Our mission To stop the degradation of the earth’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by:

conserving the world’s biological diversity ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

Country/Region: Global

The oceans connect us all. They cover two-thirds of our blue planet and contain most of the life on Earth. They are as important to us as they are vast.

But the oceans face many threats — from overfishing, habitat destruction, oil and plastic pollution, and the killing of threatened species like turtles, whales, and sharks.

What does Oceana do? We win science-based policies in important coastal countries that rebuild abundant and biodiverse oceans. With more than 325 victories, Oceana’s campaigns are delivering results.

A restored, healthy, and abundant ocean can help fight climate change, sustain livelihoods, and feed more than 1 billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever. Together, we can save the oceans and help feed the world.

Audubon protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. Across aisles. Across landscapes. Across borders. When it comes to our environment, birds are a uniting force. Birds cross borders, from neighborhoods to states and beyond, migrating tens of thousands of miles across multiple countries from one tip of the planet to the other. And so do we. Audubon's hemispheric approach recognizes that the majority of bird species in the Americas migrate annually between Canada, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Audubon’s programs are like the birds—unencumbered by political boundaries and seamlessly integrated across the Western Hemisphere.

📍 Country/Region: USA

At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

Blue Marine is working to press for the creation of effective marine protected areas all over the world.

So far, we have contributed to the protection of over 4.5m square kilometres of ocean.

We at Blue Marine are devoting everything we have to achieving our mission to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

To stop draining the ocean of life through destructive and wasteful overfishing, we need to protect at least 30% of the ocean and ensure that the whole ocean is sustainably managed.

When the ocean is effectively protected, life bounces back.

This is good for biodiversity, good for the climate, for communities, and for those who depend on fishing for their livelihoods.
