The majority of the UK's peatlands could be at risk of drying out in the next 40-50 years because of climate change - according to a new study from scientists at the Universities of Exeter, Manchester and Derby. Healthy, wet peatlands are seen as part of the solution to climate change because they soak up planet-heating carbon dioxide - UK peatlands currently store an estimated 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon. But where they dry out, they become a problem because they can then release that stored carbon back into the atmosphere.MPs have been debating calls to ban bottom trawling in some parts of the sea. Bottom trawling is a method of fishing where weighted nets are dragged along the seabed to gather things like scallops, sole and plaice. According to The Marine Conservation Society, bottom trawling is currently forbidden across 5% of the UK's MPAs, and a wider ban in ALL protected areas is something conservation charities have been calling for, for some time. But is it the right move?And farming leaders have said they left a much-anticipated meeting with the Treasury this week with their blood "boiling", claiming the Government has "shut the door" on any rethink of planned changes to inheritance tax on farms. Representatives from agricultural organisations met the Exchequer Secretary, James Murray, and Farming Minister, Daniel Zeichner, on Tuesday. It follows months of protests over plans for inherited agricultural assets worth more than a million pounds to be taxed at 20% from April next year.Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons

Bite size. Full length version available.Bottom trawling is a destructive fishing method that indiscriminately catches everything in its path, causing damage to the seabed and releasing carbon. Over the past 150 years, bottom trawling has depleted fish populations and harmed marine biodiversity. Efforts have been made to mitigate the impact of bottom trawling through the establishment of marine protected areas and the development of more selective fishing gear. However, the recovery of fish populations and the restoration of the seabed will take time.

Lucinda and Emily are joined by the fundraising consultant Lynda Harwood-Compton to discuss successful partnerships between charities and corporate entities.Lynda, who was the head of philanthropy and partnerships at the Brain Tumour Charity until August, describes a general shift in mentality by corporates to be more strategic in identifying charities with a shared purpose and values, as well as an evolution from corporate social responsibility to environmental sustainability. She highlights three very different but equally effective corporate partnerships: Overgate Hospice and the Yorkshire Soap Company; the Marine Conservation Society and Fat Face; and Together for Short Lives and Morrisons. Lucy Crisp, head of corporate partnerships at Together for Short Lives, joins the discussion and explains how the Morrisons partnership leans on individual stores' existing connection with children's hospices.

Sky News and Global Fishing Watch have discovered many of the UK's marine conservation zones and marine protected areas are often protected in name only. Since January 2022, tens of thousands of hours of damaging fishing practices like dredging and bottom trawling have taken place in the so-called protected zones.Although damaging to our ocean's havens, the practices aren't illegal. So how can we allow commercial fishing to continue while allowing our seabeds to recover and thrive?On this week's ClimateCast, Tom Heap is in Bognor Regis to speak to fourth-generation fisherman, Clive Mills, who has returned to his fishing boat after being pushed out because of a lack of supply. Twenty years on, he's pledged to only fish sustainably and is encouraging others to do the same.Plus, we look at the state of fishing in our waters internationally with Jack Clarke from the Marine Conservation Society.Podcast producer: Emma Rae Woodhouse Climate producer: Mickey Carroll Editors: Paul Stanworth and Wendy

This week on Wonderspace we orbit with Mark Haviland who after many years in the corporate world, founded Conscious Careers, inspiring young people to start a career with the world in mind. Mark is also the Vice-chair of the Marine Conservation Society and advisor to Train my generation in Kenya.“I went into schools and realised that the awareness of what's going on in the world today was pretty minimal and what awareness there was, was pretty fearful. The relevance of the classroom to the outside lived experience was barely there and so kids are coming into the world today without a real understanding of the landscape. There is so much room for optimism and yet it's not apparent.”More info: https://www.consciouscareers.co.uk To view the episode page with a summary of the interview, links to social media and projects mentioned, go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes/_115

Bucket List Live your bucket list, says Julia Goodfellow-Smith, this week's guest on The Next 100 Days Podcast. Bucket List - Julia Goodfellow-Smith - A Summary Graham asked the 'obvious' question, who'd win in a fight between Goodfellow and Smith? Goodfellow, obviously. That's her original surname. Julia left corporate life in 2004, went back for 11 months, and then left again due to a health scare. She realised she wanted to spend more time having adventures outdoors. So, Julia pivoted from a career in environmental management to pursuing outdoor activities. 630 Miles Walk Adventure One of the first things she did was to walk the 630-mile long southwest coastal path to have an adventure and raise money for the Marine Conservation Society. She carried everything she needed on her back, faced challenging weather conditions, and successfully raised £5,000 for the charity. When it comes to long distance hiking Julia emphasised the importance of planning, doing some practice ahead of time and staying in touch with someone for safety. Camino Walk (Spain) Julia also walked the Camino. Her newly published book is about her experiences walking Camino.  She also cycled King Alfred's Way on a high end mountain bike! Julia talked about the challenges and rewards of these adventures. Despite not being a Christian, she recognised the beauty of the historic pilgrimage routes to Santiago. As an author and adventurer, her wish is to encourage others to live their bucket list. Julia has a 10-year plan including a wish fulfilled (to live by the sea) and to travel the world while volunteering. Get Your Bucket List Sorted! Having a bucket list, whether checking off items big and small, is a route to living a fulfilling life. We also talked about the benefits of escaping corporate life and pursuing outdoor adventures for physical and mental well-being. Living life to the fullest means choosing to go on micro-adventures.  A bucket list is important because it helps you make choices and then just as important is having a plan. Potential adventures discussed were visiting Japan and New Zealand. For a happy marriage, it's probably best to talk to your spouse about your bucket list preferences. Graham expressed skepticism about climate change. Especially when China are currently building lots of coal mines. Julia had sought to offset her and her husband Mike's carbon footprint to Japan and New Zealand. Pre-Amble Revealed! http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Julia-Goodfellow-Smith-Preamble.mp4 Kevin and Graham are both challenged when trying to recall names and places. This time it was Kevin's turn. He was referring to Arjun Sen, who was a brilliant guest on Episode 250 of The Next 100 Days Podcast. As Kevin recalled, we were later invited onto Arjun's podcast.

My guest today is Simon Bailey. He's the Managing Director of LSP Leadership and is asking himself, and the leaders with whom he works, about regenerative leadership. He asks: What is society asking of you? What is the opportunity inside of your organization? What are you personally passionate about shifting and repairing? Listen in to this conversation to get inspired and get in action in the ways that are important to you. About the Guest: Simon Bailey is the managing director of LSP leadership. In leading LSP leadership, he sees clearly the necessity to work with leaders and their organizations to bring about an accelerated transition towards the sustainable enterprise.

Dr Leonardo Guida, shark scientist and shark conservation lead at the Australian Marine Conservation Society joins us in this episode to talk through a variety of topics ranging from personal experiences swimming and diving with our apex predators to the conservation efforts currently in place throughout Australia and across the globe.Leo is actively involved in many projects including the "Nets out now" call for shark nets to be removed throughout Australia, he .appeared in the documentary produced by Andre Borell Envoy Shark Cull which focuses on the subject.  Leo emphasises the indiscriminate targeting that hails from these antiquated defence systems with a prime example being that of a Humpback Whale being caught in a net only a few days prior to this recording, with a further 2 more whales entangled since.We also discuss the apparent movement of sharks from locations such as South Africa pushing further south, presumably due to climate change and rising water temperatures.  With larger predators such as Great Whites moving into locations inhabited by more docile species such as Grey Nurse Sharks, are they to become a new target for the larger shark and what impact does this have on the overall balance in the regions?Leo talks with such passion it's hard to break away from listening to his experiences, skills and knowledge across a wide spectrum of conservation.  Actively sharing his knowledge via social media, Leo regularly posts updates on what is happening within Australia and you can follow him via the links on the Scuba GOAT website.

I had a grand old chat with Deby Jackson who is the creator, editor, all-round-everything of That Leeds Mag, an independent printed Leeds magazine that goes out to 19,000 homes across North Leeds.It provides advertising for local businesses, has great editorial features and the cover art work is really beautiful too.Deby tells  me about how and why she got started and what she thinks of Leeds as a relative newcomer to the city. I had been interviewed by her for That Leeds Mag the previous week so it was good to be able to turn the tables too! Do check out That Leeds Mag social media (links below) and get in touch with her if you'd like to advertise: https://thatleedsmag.co.uk/ads@thatleedsmag.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/thatleedsmaghttps://twitter.com/thatleedsmaghttps://www.instagram.com/thatleedsmag/https://www.linkedin.com/in/thatleedsmag/Deby chose to feature "Ocean Floor" by a Leeds pop-collective called Sea's Cape and any proceeds of the song raises money for the Marine Conservation Society. "The Leeds band members and comprise Spencer Bayles - music producer, and musician,  Nicky Bray - musician, and curator of longstanding Leeds open mic night 'Tower of Song', and Emma Gatherer, singer and former member of Leeds Sea Shanty group 'Ocean Loiners' - a Loiner being an old term for a resident of Leeds. 'Ocean Floor' has been recorded over several weeks with elements of social distancing at times, while fitting the project in around day jobs. Sea's Cape hope their resulting catchy pop song with upbeat folk undertones will inspire enough interest to raise funds for and awareness of the Marine Conservation Society.  The Society campaigns and takes action for a cleaner, better protected ocean, to care for coastal habitats and raise awareness of the challenges of Climate Change on our oceans."https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/seas-cape-fundraiserhttps://seas-cape.bandcamp.com/track/ocean-floor-fundraiser-for-marine-conservation-society

Please join in the fun! For our Big English Wine Adventure, we've gone and made 3 one-off English wines, with all profits going to charity. Now the project is reaching its climax: the wines are going on sale on 25th November 2021. But we're no experts in making or selling wine. Our necks are on the line and we need your help... We have some BIG announcements in this episode, which features plenty of drama, intrigue and jeopardy. We reveal our brilliant charity partner as well as the name for our sparkling wines - both of which were voted for as part of a public competition we ran over 5 years.What's more, our labels have been designed by mysterious street artist Hendog so we talk illegal art and free walls. Finally, the tension ramps up when we taste our wines for the first time in 5 years: will they be up to scratch?! We also spill the beans on how you can support the project - where and how you can buy the wines, and what your support will mean (not just to us, but a fantastic charity doing vital work). Thanks for listening, and for supporting - we really appreciate it!As ever, show notes for this episode are on our website.  You can catch us and say hi via Instagram or Twitter.

Eat or not eat fish? If you are going to eat fish, how to choose which? - check out the Good Fish Guide "we are putting too much in, taking too much out" The oceans are vast, deep, and largely unexplored. The seas have for countless generations provided a seemingly limitless source of food in exchange for humankind's wastes. It was long thought by many that the vast expanse of our oceans ensured that “dilution is the solution to pollution.” Today, it is abundantly clear that “we are putting too much in; taking too much out” as Sandy says. Chemicals from our activities end in the sea, and, often, in our seafood. Our voracious appetite for seafood has significantly depleted life in the previously teeming sea. Climate change is not only warming the seas causing some species to migrate and others to decline in numbers. It is also making the water more acidic – making it more difficult for species that need shells to make them and hence reduce their chance of survival, and dissolving shells deposited on the seafloor, that would otherwise sequester carbon. The less life (animals and plants, from whales to plankton) in the oceans, the less carbon the sea absorbs, adding to the vicious circle of climate change. A growing number of respected scientists, including Sylvia Earle, have told us that they would no more eat a wild-caught fish, than they would eat a lion, giraffe or panda. Fish are, after all, wild animals, and increasingly threatened ones. Many have recently watched the documentary “Seaspiracy” and similar exposes, which reveal many concerning issues about global fisheries. Both reviled as “vegan propaganda” and praised as brave truth-telling, it has certainly gotten people talking. That said, fish is an important part of the diet and economies of many communities and fish consumption is projected to increase in coming decades. Those of us who want to continue to eat fish have a responsibility to “engage to change” as Sandy puts it. We need to demand more information on what we are sold: what species where it comes from and how it is caught. These three factors are key to deciding if fish is caught sustainably – in other words, if we are taking out less than the remaining fish can replace, and if methods used are not causing irreparable damage to the seabed and the seas. We can do something about it – if you choose to eat fish, source your fish wisely – know what you are eating! Check out the Good Fish Guide from the Marine Conservation Society when buying fish. Of course, an increasing proportion of the fish we eat is farmed – aquaculture is a growing industry. It has its own challenges and trade-offs, and will be the subject for another episode.

Last episode, I spoke with Adrian Meder, Sustainable Seafood Program Manager from the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) we covered fish farming, fish oil certifications and how we may make informed decisions about the fish we choose to eat, how this helps our oceans, covering some of the tools that may help us with such decisions, such as  the sustainable seafood program guide from AMCS.In this second part of the interview with Adrian, we delve further into ocean acidification, krill oils, what ‘wild caught' fish is, then onto microplastics, heavy metals and cleaning up the ocean.........with Adrian sharing some final rays of light on the horizon for us all.

In this podcast today, we shall be clarifying where the industry is at and some tips to keep in mind when purchasing fish and or fish oil products. Adrian Meder, Sustainable Seafood Program Manager from the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) covers an update on fish farming, fish oil certifications and how we may make informed decisions about the fish we choose to eat,helps our oceans and our health. We discuss  some of the tools that may help us in making such decisions, such as  the Sustainable Seafood Program Guide from AMCS.An important podcast for helping us make informed decisions around the seafood we eat.

The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) has welcomed the tabling of legislation that will ban the use of plastic cutlery, drink stirrers and polystyrene food and beverage containers in the Australian Capital Territory. The laws would commence from July 2021 and will help to save ocean wildlife like turtles and seabirds from death by plastic. AMCS plastics spokesperson Shane Cucow said the new laws were vital but needed to go further and include single use plastic straws and other plastic plates and bowls. The ACT Government has said they intend to introduce bans on these items in 2022 with exemptions allowing access to people with disabilities or medical needs. The post Shane Cucow Plastics Spokesperson, Australian Marine Conservation Society first appeared on Mitchell's Front Page.

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support Producing Activity Quest has been my main focus this month, sending Fun Kids presenters to newly re-opened locations across the UK in an effort to make a programme that encourages families to also get out-and-about safely this summer. I've been recording my own experiences for the podcast. You can hear me in the first episode, where I visited GoApe in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Listen to the audio version of this newsletter to hear the feature and some other bits-and-bobs in this newsletter. I had the pleasure of speaking to Sir Tim Smit, founder of the Eden Project, for Activity Quest. He spoke about getting active and ways in which people of all ages can improve the world. That's in the most recent episode, which you can listen to wherever you get your podcasts… On podcasts, Santa Daily and The Week Junior Show didn't pick anything up at the British Podcast Awards at the start of the month, but we did get some very funny mentions from Chris Moyles and I'm still delighted that we were punching with hitters including the Guardian, Monocle, and BBC Radio 4. Toward the end of the month, I began listening back to some bits-and-pieces from my personal audio journal. I've kept an audio journal since the start of 2015, just blabbering into my iPhone once-a-day-or-so. I've only really listened back to bits this past week as I've begun archiving over 1,000 entries. Keeping this journal has been the best thing I've ever done. I've got voices of friends past and present, relationships old and new, and sounds from places across the world, plus some important lessons: May 2015: “Just spoke to a CNN dude about Bitcoin for a radio doc. He said to pile $400 into it [scoffs] yeah, right, alright mate” Hindsight is a wonderful thing. That $400 would be just shy of £20,000 today. Elsewhere… I've been reading: Memoirs and Misinformation, Jim Carey's autobiography. In an interview about the book, he said the cover came from an accidental screenshot of a FaceTime call with his assistant after they'd both been told they had minutes to live. Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped by Russell Brand. Do listen to it (read by Brand himself), rather than read it. It's quicker and much more entertaining. I've been watching: Friday/Saturday evening Bad Movie Marathons with friends on Discord continue. We watched Shrek: The Musical last. This one's not a recommendation, just an FYI. I've been listening to: I've made an Apple Music playlist of what I've been listening to in Spring/Summer 2020. I'll be adding to it constantly until the end of this month at which point I'll make an Autumn/Winter one. Tap the link to open it in-app or in browser, so you can copy the tunes to your own playlist.

I've been enjoying: Call of Duty: Warzone, which came out in March but is something I've only just stumbled upon in the past few months. Something tells me this was a savvy marketing ploy from the folks at Activision: release something in the midst of everyone being stuck at home to get a feel for the gameplay ahead of a wider game release later this year. When I saw one my favourite limited edition items was back in stock on the Monocle store earlier this month, I knew I had to get it. I snapped up a spare Monocle x Laperruque cardholder – one of my favourite possessions, mainly because of how humble and understated it looks, but also because of how beautifully made it is. Rapanui sell clothes in partnership with charities like WarChild and the Marine Conservation Society and donate a percentage of the profits to them, something I've written about before. I got a nice Vivienne Westwood tee just after I sent the last email update. WarChild themselves have created a clever way to raise some cash (and have raised £80,000 as of me writing this) by auctioning and raffling off some incredible prizes, from backstage access to gigs when they're back-to-normal to signed guitars, video-chats with stars, and limited-edition prints. Alright, that's all for this month. Until next time. Your friend, Adam Stoner

This week we're talking about that time of the month. Half of the world menstruates at some point during their lives and often the sanitary products used are single-use and contain significant quantities of plastic. City to Sea estimates that a regular pack of pads contains as much plastic as five plastic bags and that 2.5 million tampons are flushed in the UK every year, and the Marine Conservation Society have seen huge numbers of sanitary products wash up on our beaches every year. The things we use for just a matter of hours can outlive even us when discarded, causing huge issues in the environment. We're exploring the issues with conventional pads, tampons and applicators, and sharing some of the best solutions currently available to make periods friendly on the environment as well as you, from organic and plastic-free pads and tampons to reusable pads and absorbent period pads!

Every year, millions of items of litter wash up on our shores, from crisp packets and plastic bottles to cigarette stubs and microplastics, and every year hundreds of volunteers join the Marine Conservation Society's Great British Beach Clean weekend. Volunteers get to be citizen scientists, picking up all the litter found on a 100m stretch of their local beach, recording what they find and sending the data off to MCS, who use the results to inform policy and ask for government change. Today, MCS is releasing the results of their 2019 clean up, so this week Emma has had a chat with Lizzie Prior, the Beachwatch Officer at MCS, to find out more about the scheme, why it's important and how we can get involved!  Thanks to Lizzie for joining us this week, and to the Marine Conservation Society, who you can also find on Instagram and Twitter.

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.Click on anything in capitals for a link to whatever I’m on about!This week my guest is LOUISE GRAY, and environmental and food writer whose incredible book THE ETHICAL CARNIVORE gave me a fundamental gear shift in the ways I was thinking about meat eating and the environment and the whole big picture. It was an honour to talk to somebody both so well-informed and articulate. We have a truly brilliant conversation (hence this episode being so long) about the ethics of eating, outing our disordered eating, working through it and finding both stress but also great joy in eating. Ooo and she cooked me a wild Scottish rabbit. Mind and mouth: blown. Honourable MentionsHERE is the brilliant Observer article about being a food writer and bulimic which first made me aware of Louise.BUY LOUISE’S BOOK HERE - THE ETHICAL CARNIVORE - packed with information and inspiration whilst being unputdownable to boot. My favourite non-fiction book for years. THESE ARE GREEN GUERRILLA the lovely boys with all the veggie cakes in Durham market Her local Edinburgh butcher was GEORGE BOWERIt’s pricy but here’s THE PIG ON THE BEACH I mentioned down in Dorset near my hometownHERE is Peter Singer’s wiki page, he’s the powerfully persuasive philosopher and animal rights activist. HERE is Alex Renton writing candidly about boys’ boarding schools. There is a whole website dedicated to the late, great M F K FISCHERAnd then on the hunt for ethical fish there is for restaurants FISH 2 FORK, and go to MARINE CONSERVATION SOCIETY for their red-green guide on how bad to good fish is to eat if you put all the details in, whilst out shopping. And STAMP TO LOOK FOR ON FISH IS THIS ONE FROM THE MARINE STEWARDSHIP COUNCILAnd in a tiny bit that didn’t make the edit Louise mentioned that the honey on our beautiful, colourful carrots was from her boyfriends’ Dad’s BEE FARM - Wainwright’s in Aber. OH, AndIf you have got a any spare dosh to give a month I’m on this great site called Patreon where I exchange for rewards including exclusive content for your hard earned cash which means I can keep doing and improving the podcast.

The Met Office says the slowdown in global warming is over, but does everyone believe it? Is climate change a really urgent issue? Carbonbrief takes issue with the Daily Mail over this. Are we doing enough recycling? The Marine Conservation Society sees straws in the wind, but sadly they're plastic. The British government announces a Green Finance Taskforce. Haven't I heard of something like that before? And then there's the Green Supply Chain. Listen up before you eat that chocolate! Sustainability, or at least renewable energy, seems to be becoming a political football down under, and they're growing salads down underground. Hot news from the Sahara on the energy front. Energy from there might help us replace all those diesel cars which got another bad press this week. Or maybe we'll get it from a new solar plant, plus batteries, just commissioned nearer to home. And would you rather trust Boris or Matilda?  

Sam Stone, from the Ross-on-Wye-based Marine Conservation Society, discusses the new Good Fish Guide and the work going on behind the scenes to form new policies as a result of the pending Brexit.

In this week's report: can you get a discount if you take your own cup to a coffeeshop? Are batteries the investment of the future? I'll tell you about my smart meter, about electric cars in India and about the implications of tellurium supplies for solar panels. The RHS comments on the effect of climate change on gardens. Will we soon been drinking GM tea? The court has ruled against the government once more on air pollution, the Marine Conservation Society issues a plastic challenge and plastic waste could be coming to a road near you. President Trump will shortly set out his climate policy and Professor Stephen Hawking urges us to colonise distant planets. All this and not a word about the British parliamentary election!  

Sustainability of marine life, responsible fishing and the need to protect our oceans are the focus of the Marine Conservation Society, based in Ross on Wye. Alisdair Nualls explains why being more informed when buying fish is important.

Anaesthetics. General anaesthetic is an essential part of modern medicine. Millions of surgical procedures, many life-saving, simply could not be performed without rendering the patient unconscious with one of a long list of drugs that induce anaesthesia. But, we don't know how they work. Part of this mystery is because we're not entirely sure what we mean when we say unconscious. But part of it is that there's a whole fleet of different molecules than can work as an anaesthetic, so there's no well-known pathway we can study. Neuroscientist, Luca Turin at the Alexander Fleming Research Center in Greece thinks that the answer to how they work, could lie, not at the chemical level, but at the quantum level. 2014 Iquique Earthquake in Chile Before the massive 8.1-8.2 Magnitude earthquake struck Iquique in Chile, in April, this year, there were a series foreshocks at the fault line. Adam Rutherford asks Roland Pease if these creaks could be a way of warning us about an imminent big quake in the future. They also discuss whether the stress released by the megathrust quake means the region will be seismically inactive for a while. The experts think not. Strange Weather We are obsessed with the weather. It is a powerful, shared daily experience, offering us an immediate talking point. Yet when we talk about climate change the sense of guilt or powerlessness can often be enough to kill the conversation. A new exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin aims to engage conversations about both weather and climate in a playful, provocative way. By bringing together works by artists, designers, scientists, meteorologists and engineers STRANGE WEATHER asks questions such as: Should human culture be reshaped to fit strange weather or should we reshape weather to fit our strange culture? Who is going to take advantage of climate chaos and how will strange weather benefit me? How will you choose to work, celebrate, live and die when weather gets weird? Strange Weather runs at Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin from 18th July to 5th October 2014 Neutrinos A listener writes in to ask if we will ever run out of room in our Universe for the trillions and trillions of neutrinos being created. Malcolm Fairbairn at Kings College London does the maths. Jellyfish Last year was a record for jellyfish sightings off the UK coast. We know very little about our jellyfish, and experts at the Marine Conservation Society want to know more. They're set up a survey, complete with photographic guides and reporting forms for you to send in your sightings of these coastal visitors. Producer: Fiona Roberts.

Helen Mark is in Gloucestershire to find out more about one of our most fascinating creatures, the eel, and hear why efforts are being made to save this endangered species. When eels arrive in the UK as tiny babies, called elvers, they do so at the end of an exhausting 4,000-mile marathon swim from the Sargasso Sea where they have spawned. For generations, their arrival was greeted with much anticipation by fishermen on the Rivers Severn and Wye where they were caught at night and often used in dishes and delicacies. But the eel is in trouble and has been placed on the Red List of Fish to Avoid by the Marine Conservation Society who class it as critically endangered. However, others believe that the decline in the number of eels is not just a result of over-fishing but is also due to the way in which rivers are managed and flood defences are erected, so blocking the eels migratory route, and that by leaving them to their own defences the eels' fate will be sealed. Helen Mark meets some of the people involved with trying to save this precious and mysterious creature including fisherman Richard Cook who has a life-long passion for eels and who is now taking tanks of eels into schools to teach the children who look after them for a few weeks about the importance of the fish, our rivers and the environment . Eventually, the children will release the eels back into the river as part of a restocking project. Helen also hears from Bernadette Clarke of the Marine Conservation Society about the reasons why they felt it was important that eels should be classed as critically endangered and placed on the Red List. And Helen meets Andrew Kerr of the Sustainable Eel Group which is working to devise a recovery plan to protect and preserve the eel. Presenter: Helen Mark Producer: Helen Chetwynd.

What's happening in the Gulf of Mexico is quite literally a drop in the ocean compared to the growing plastic pollution further out in the Pacific and now found closer to home in the North Atlantic. Thirteen years after the world woke up to the threat from plastic polluting our seas and CTE's award-winning expose of the potential threat to our food, we reveal how far from winning the war on plastic pollution it's actually getting worse. Along British beaches UFO's - unidentified floating objects are appearing in larger quantities than ever before. The Marine Conservation Society recently reported that the amount of plastic on our beaches has more than doubled in the last 15 years and more and more of it ends up inside or wrapped around our wildlife. Nobody knows what these oddly shaped bits of plastic are or where they have come from but there are increasingly urgent attempts to find out how much of it might be out there and what we can do to stop it. The Pacific Gyre, a vortex of floating plastic already twice the size of France, is well documented but Gyres in the North and South Atlantic, The Indian Ocean and a further Pacific patch whilst long suspected have only just been discovered. Anna Cumming of the 5 Gyres Project discovered the North Atlantic Gyre in February and the Project is about to sail for the Southern Atlantic. High profile campaigners like David de Rothschild, who sailed to the Pacific Gyre on a boat made of plastic bottles called The Plastiki, have told us about the sheer horror and size of the rubbish patch, now Costing the Earth looks at what can be done about it. The Plastiki boat has been made using a revolutionary new plastic which is completely recyclable, a new plant in Ireland plans to turn plastic waste into fuel and there is even a new plastic being made from algae. The University of Sheffield are also researching the use of microbes to break down the plastics already in the sea. Prevention would be the key but with the gyres themselves only the tip of the problem and 70% of the plastic we allow into the sea sinking to the sea-bed a solution to disperse these giant rubbish islands is essential.
