Earlier this year in June members of staff from UK SEA LIFE Centres took part in a 20 mile sponsored walk of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, raising money for a brand new charity the "Sea Life Marine Conservation Trust", which is fundraising to kick start campaigns and other global actions on plastic pollution, whaling, MCZs, seahorses, turtles and sharks!
They are now asking for your assistance and to Help in this great cause by clicking here and signing the SEA LIFE Centres petition. Let´s wipe out whaling together!!!
