Morning everyone! We reached apocalypse before breakfast today.

Our seas need your help! Highly Protected Marine Areas would ban damaging activities and give wildlife a chance to recover. But we need your support to see them designated! Add your name here 👉 wildlifetrusts.org/protect-our-se… Essex Wildlife Trust The Wildlife Trusts

**EXCITING NEW JOB ALERT** 🐟🌱🚣🦭🦀🌊 We are looking for a Marine & Coastal Engagement Officer to join the newly formed Marine & Coastal Recovery Team at Essex Wildlife Trust. For more info 👉 essexwt.org.uk/jobs

We’ve heard that just 3/5 proposed HPMAs in English seas will get the gold standard of marine protection. But experts say a minimum of 5 initial sites should be designated in English waters to allow our seas to recover. Why we’re disappointed 👉wildlifetrusts.org/blog/dr-lissa-… (1/3)
