MCS SouthEast
Our seas are under immense pressure: too many fish are being taken out, too much rubbish is being thrown in and too little is being done to protect our precious marine wildlife and vital fish stocks.
The MCS SouthEast group is part of the National organisation, the Marine Conservation Society, and plays its part in the Society's national campaigns as well as having activities of its own.
MCS' vision is for seas rich in wildlife, abundant fish stocks and pollution free beaches and bathing waters – seas that are fit for wildlife to thrive in and for people to enjoy, and seas that will support future generations with abundant resources.
We champion the need for marine wildlife protection, sustainable fisheries and clean seas and beaches.

MCS Campaigns
Balloon Releases – Just a reminder that MCS are continuing to campaign against mass balloon releases used for other charitable events. The campaign is called ‘Don’t Let Go’. Although not against using balloons to promote events, when released, many find there way into the sea where they can be eaten by turtles and sea birds, causing serious injury and death. The amount of balloon debris found around our coasts has tripled in the last ten years. A coloured leaflets and posters with details of this campaign are available from the MCS head office.
These balloons were found on Dungeness beach close to a flock of fledgling gulls. Both companies KFC and Harvester failed to reply to a letter asking them about their companies policy on pollution caused by balloons.

”Go Plastic-Free For A Clean Sea”
Westmeads Community Infant School Launches an Eco-Bag for Whitstable Following a school assembly, the school’s Eco Council decided to take drastic action by getting behind a project to create an eco-bag for the town. The assembly had focussed on the largest mammal on the planet, the Blue Whale, and during an interactive session the children learned how a whale, found washed up on the Isle of Mull, had died after swallowing 23 plastic bags and bin liners.
