take action to support marine conservation

make a positive contribution to marine conservation

Working together, we can make a difference. Do you love to walk by the sea? Are you a beach comber/cleaner? Perhaps you could capture and share your experiences. Are you a visual artist using paint, printmaking, graphic media, textiles or photography? Do you represent a charitable organisation involved in marine conservation? Are you a potential sponsor for a live event, or an establishment with access to display space?

contribute work to the project

Will you contribute an image to the Global Shorelines project? Perhaps you could capture a walk by the shore with a smartphone or DSLR image. Perhaps, as a visual artist you could produce a graphic response with drawing media, paint, print or textiles? The intention is to use the visual arts to raise awareness of marine conservation issues and generate support for marine conservation charities.

Start a school or college project

Use the theme of Shorelines in an education project and share the outcomes in this forum. Perhaps through photography, or an art project, or an ecology/conservation project. Make use of the links below to visit some of the groups who are trying to make a real difference to marine conservation. Get involved in one of your local beach cleaning initiatives.

Be a marine conservation charity partner

Link with the project to support a live event, with your own information, visual media and speakers. Use our forum to generate further interest and support for your work, in your own country and across the globe. Marine conservation is a global issue.

Be a sponsor

Could you be a sponsor to support a live event? Perhaps through the offer of an exhibition space, help with framing or printing and publicity.
