Environmental organisations have launched a campaign “encouraging Bermuda residents to write to their elected representatives in support of stronger ocean protection.”

A spokesperson said, “To mark World Marine Protected Areas [MPA] Day on August 1st, the Bermuda National Trust, Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce [BEST] and Nonsuch Expeditions, through the OurOcean campaign, are proud to launch a joint campaign encouraging Bermuda residents to write to their elected representatives in support of stronger ocean protection.

“The campaign comes as Government prepares to make important decisions on legislation that would establish Bermuda’s long-awaited Marine Protected Area [MPA] network following years of scientific research and public consultation. With a PLP leadership transition expected in October, Bermuda will soon be entering a new political chapter. The organisations say now is a timely opportunity for residents to share their views with their elected representatives and help ensure ocean protection remains a national priority.

“Through a dedicated online platform, residents can send a personalised message to their MP in just a few minutes: https://bermuda.eaction.online/Write-Your-MP-to-protect-Our-Ocean
