Protecting Important Habitats
Around the world, marine habitats are under threat, and not nearly enough is being done to protect them. The SEA LIFE Trust aims to change that. In 2015/2016, the Trust will be working with SEA LIFE sites across the globe to identify important local habitats, and fund projects that focus on practical action to protect those areas.
