This Christmas, as we gather with loved ones and reflect on the year, the ocean continues its quiet work, sustaining life on Earth, regulating our climate, and supporting the planet we call home. Yet our ocean is under increasing pressure and protecting them has never been more important.
The Marine Biological Association (MBA) is a charity dedicated to advancing marine science and protecting the ocean we all depend on for the future of our planet. This festive season, we invite you to join us in supporting our groundbreaking science – because every gift, every action, and every voice helps us to safeguard life in the ocean for generations to come.
Here are three ways you can support the MBA and make a difference this Christmas:
- Raise funds whilst Christmas shopping – Turn your Christmas shopping into support for marine science – at no extra cost to you.
