About the UK SEAS project
The UK SEAS project is working to develop the right protection and management for our seas, to secure a future for important industries, communities and nature.
Visit the UK SEAS project website to find out more about the work we're doing and to read our reports.
UK SEAS is a five year WWF-led project started in 2018 initially focussing on two case study areas – North Devon and the Outer Hebrides, and will share lessons across the UK and beyond.
The project is funded through a partnership between WWF and Sky Ocean Rescue.
