The UK Government must take urgent action to save seabirds after an unprecedented “severe” marine heatwave in our seas, conservationists have warned.
The RSPB called on Tory ministers to throw struggling seabirds a “lifeline” as warming oceans makes it harder for them to find fish to eat.
In a letter to Defra minister Lord Benyon, the charity warned sea temperature rises of a staggering 4-5C above average for this time of year could pile added pressure onto already fragile populations.
