Marine Conservation Society Open Photographic Competiton
It's the 26th anniversary of the The Marine Conservation Society and to celebrate the MCS Plymouth Local Group is holding an open photographic competition this year, that everyone can get involved with.
The theme of the competition is, "Marine Conservation - the good, the bad and the ugly". Photos should illustrate some aspect of marine conservation - this could include beautiful coastal landscapes worth conserving, people working in conservation, marine or beach pollution or litter, marine related animal or plant species at risk.
