At the start of 2021 the Government declared this to be a Marine Super Year and that the UK would use its presidency of COP26 to lead calls for renewed action to restore the marine environment to health. Our Marine Scorecard outlines the key challenges Government need to meet in order to be able to achieve this ambition.
We will be ranking the extent of the Government’s progress on ocean recovery according to this criteria later in the year and will be using this to hold them to account where action has not met their ambition. This scorecard is the litmus test for the success of the Marine Super Year.
