    Just your average news hound.

    Post Worse things happen at sea, Prime Minister Brown

    News from the RSPB site

    In a direct appeal to Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP, we are urging the new Prime Minister to ensure the first Queen's Speech of his premiership includes protection for the UK's marine wildlife.


    A recent analysis has shown that UK seas regularly support 18 species of fish, mammal, bird or reptile that are considered at risk of global extinction. This compares with only three such endangered species on land or freshwater: two species of bat and a non-breeding migrant warbler.

    The UK’s coastline is home to 18 exclusively coastal species of seabird, including puffin, gannet, kittiwake and guillemot.

    The great skua, Manx shearwater, gannet and shag have their most important populations in the world in the UK. Within the European Union, nine species of exclusively coastal seabird also have their most important breeding populations around our shores: fulmar; Leach’s storm-petrel; Arctic skua; great black-backed gull; kittiwake; puffin; razorbill; guillemot and black guillemot.
