Campaigners are calling on the Government to treat rewilding our oceans with the same level of urgency as reforestation as the UK battles to meet its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. In a new report, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) and Rewilding Britain highlight that Britain’s coastal waters cover 500,000 km2 and store an estimated 205 million tonnes of carbon. The total is 50 million tonnes more than the carbon locked up within the UK’s entire stock of standing forests. The two organisations want the Government to develop an “ocean charter” to implement nature recovery plans as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation policies.
