🌊 This World Oceans Day, we're celebrating action for Cornwall’s seas!
Since Cornwall Council passed the Motion for the Ocean in 2023, we've been turning ambition into action - putting the ocean at the heart of decision-making and delivering real change for nature and communities.
Highlights include:
✅ England’s first Marine Nature Recovery Framework created for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly aligned to our terrestrial Nature Recovery Strategy
✅ Cornwall’s first Maerl Conservation Action Plan and the UK’s first Maerl Forum
✅ The launch of Hidden Wonders of St Mawes, showcasing Cornwall’s incredible marine wildlife
✅ Support for seagrass restoration in Falmouth Bay, helping wildlife thrive, storing carbon, and boosting coastal resilience
✅ Embedding ocean health across council policies, programmes, and priorities
Together, we're helping create a healthier future for Cornwall’s seas and the communities that depend on them 💙🌊
