#Motion4theOcean In Seaham
Seaham Town Council made an Ocean Recovery Declaration on 22nd March 2022.
This means they are committed to taking action to improve the health of the ocean and the ocean literacy of their community.
Seaham was the first Town Council in the North of England to make this declaration and the eighth council in the UK to pass the Motion for the Ocean.

A model ‘Ocean Recovery Declaration’ – or Motion for the Ocean – seeks to help ALL local governments recognise that the world’s Ocean is a fundamental part of climate regulation and that it must be considered as part of an effective climate emergency response. It is vital to ensure that local Councils commit to supporting a more ecologically healthy sea and to rethink how the Ocean is taken into account in the planning and decision-making at the local level.
We need a healthy ocean; the air we breathe depends upon it.
