National Marine Week
25 July - 9 August 2020
Dive into the action
Each year, the Wildlife Trusts nationally celebrate the UK’s amazing marine wildlife during National Marine Week. This is your chance to explore the seashore, discover dunes and wallow with whelks.
This year is slightly different due to the Covid-19 crisis, but there's still lots to get stuck in to! Check out our ideas below to help you discover more about Lincolnshire's amazing marine life.

Help bring our seas back to life
Our seas need YOUR help! We're telling the Government that we need Highly Protected Marine Areas as soon as possible. These special areas would ban all damaging activities and give the wildlife there a chance to recover and thrive.
Competition time!
Have you got an all-time favourite UK marine wildlife experience? If so, send your pictures, videos or stories to marine@wildlifetrusts.org to be in with a chance to win a pair of Opticron binoculars and a copy of the brilliant ‘The Essential Guide to Rockpooling’ book by Julie Hatcher and Steve Trewhella.
Competition closes 11.59pm 9th August. The winner will be chosen at random shortly afterwards.
