Protect Our Dolphins

The Moray Firth Dolphins face a new oil threat. Have we learned nothing from the BP oil slick disaster?

Shockingly, the UK government has agreed to allow two companies to begin seismic surveys for oil and gas in the Moray Firth in September.  One of these companies will be operating inside the Special Area of Conservation – a sanctuary, created by the government to protect the bottlenose dolphins. Watch our new campaign video.

In 2008 we asked for your help and, with backing from 25 world leading experts, 18,000 of you responded!  This was enough to stop the government in its tracks and say no to all oil and gas activity in the Moray Firth for the whole of 2009.

Help us to stop them again. We will challenge their decision at the highest possible level but we need your support.
