Great to be back in North Wales and a first visit to Colwyn Bay! Starting the day hearing about the work of the Marine Conservation Society on the Welsh seafront. A brilliant environmental charity that’s been dedicated to protecting the ocean for over 40 years. Amazing to also hear about their Youth Ocean Network — a passionate group of young people driving change and shaping the future of ocean conservation. Inspiring work that shows the power of people coming together to protect our planet.

A pleasure meeting the local community and learning about Ocean Literacy with the Marine Conservation Society on Colwyn Bay. This is a concept that highlights our influence on the ocean and its influence on us. Hugely encouraging to see that positive social change is being powered by collective action. Connecting communities with the ocean, and driving sustainable choices for healthier seas. // Pleser oedd cyfarfod â’r gymuned leol a dysgu am Lythrennedd Morol gyda’r Gymdeithas Cadwraeth Forol yn Bae Colwyn. Cysyniad yw hwn sy’n pwysleisio ein dylanwad ar y môr, a dylanwad y môr arnom ninnau. Calonogol dros ben oedd gweld bod gweithredu torfol yn cyflawni newid cymdeithasol cadarnhaol. Cysylltu cymunedau â’r môr a hyrwyddo dewisiadau cynaliadwy dros foroedd iachach.
