Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

The Shark and Coral Conservation Trust is dedicated to spreading awareness to the general public on the impacts of excessive shark depletion and oceanic acidification. We cooperate with the IUCN, UNEP and other marine conservation organisations in the attempt to minimise these impacts and even reverse the trends. If we do nothing, we shall hand over to our children oceans impoverished by their lack of biodiversity - coral reefs and the habitat that they offer will become a thing of the past (and time is short).  Inside 50 years, we shall be looking at jellyfish and chips and jellyfish thermidor if current trends continue. Changes are already happening, but it is not too late to act. We must reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to arrest the progressive ocean acidification and lobby our politicians hard for the introduction of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).  There is enough spare capacity in depleted oil, gas and salt aquifers beneath the North Sea bed to accommodate 700 - 800 years worth of surfeit CO2 emissions.  The technology exists to extract remaining gas or oil reserves and process the gas into hydrogen (which combusts with only a water exhaust residue). At the same time liquified CO2 can be pumped into and stored in the depleted oil/gas chambers and aquifers.   This CCS might just offer a long-term future for the UK oil industry !!

Please help us to raise the funds for the presentation equipment needed to 'spread the word', subsidise expeditions to investigate and verify the impacts, and carry on lobbying MPs and those with enough power to institute change.

DEFRA have described climate change and ocean acidification as, " - - the issue of the 21st Century"
