Victory for Stop the Sea Blasts Campaign

We are delighted to announce that just one year since we launched the Stop Sea Blasts campaign, the UK Government has updated its policy guidance to state that clearances of old munitions on the seabed should take place using quiet, environmentally friendly disposal techniques.

This follows several months of campaigning with actress and activist Joanna Lumley, with the support of EODEX UK LTD, Marine Connection, Whale and Dolphin Conservation and World Cetacean Alliance, to highlight that loud and disruptive explosions cause needless harm to marine life.

We are so pleased to see the Government finally take action and were thrilled to mark the success of our campaign with an event yesterday in Westminster, attended by over fifty parliamentarians, Environment Minister Rebecca Pow MP and Environment Secretary George Eustice MP

Over 120,000 members of the public supported our campaign on change.org and we were delighted to deliver this petition, with a letter of thanks, to the Prime Minister. The Stop Sea Blasts campaign received coverage on Sky News, ITV, BBC News, GB News, The Telegraph, The Express and a number of regional publications.
