SaveOurBays
Why we're here
Save Our Bays was originally set up in February 2024 in response to several industrial scale seaweed farm applications in the South West of the UK.
As a result of our campaign, other coastal communities got in touch, and we began to support their struggles against industrial development.
Since then, other opportunities for the protection of Cornwall's fragile marine habitats have surfaced.

Just to be clear...
Seaweed is great!
We must stress that ourselves, and the communities we have been working alongside, are not against seaweed farming at all. We support the expansion of aquaculture projects in general, for the sake of the planet, and for the health and wellbeing of its people.
However, we do oppose the SIX industrial-sized farm development proposals which have recently emerged around the South West. Not only were the local communities and stakeholders not consulted at all, these farms would significantly impact the seabed in these areas, and pose a significant threat to the marine mammals, seabirds, crustaceans and fish that rely on these delicately balanced environments.
This is why SaveOurBays is now pushing to protect our nearshore waters.
