They are seeking a Marine Campaign Volunteer. Perhaps you want to gain experience in helping to run a campaign or maybe you have an interest in marine life and want to help

The Government has recently passed a new Marine Act. This is the first major piece of legislation that deals with conservation in the marine environment and it is vital that the Act is implemented. To ensure this happens, The Wildlife Trusts are mounting a national campaign to focus on marine issues. We are looking for volunteers to help run this campaign for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
