Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am joining Winch Design on the first stage of their monumental ride, I will be doing in London - Folkstone
The Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) is working to solve the crisis of overfishing by creating marine reserves –parts of the ocean that are protected so that fish and biodiversity can recover.
Funds raised from the event will go towards two projects that will contribute significantly to ocean protection:
The beautiful Aeolian Islands to the north of Sicily are being threatened by overfishing and irresponsible tourism.
Build eco-moorings for sailing vessels so they don’t damage the sea grass beds when they anchor;
Monitor and protect endangered marine species such as sperm whales and dolphins;
Enhance fish reproduction through site-specific protection/zoning;
Reduce the number of ‘ghost’ nets (discarded nets which trap species such as loggerhead turtles).
Every little helps so please do give and thank you.
