Seafriends: 
Have you seen changes to our seas?

Changes to our seas are not recorded, so we don't know what is happening. But now you can help by ringing this toll free number. You will talk to someone interested in your report, and recorded for future research: plankton blooms, smell and colour of the water, plagues, mass mortalities, unusual sightings and more. 

If you really care, become a member.
