HERE is a book of poetry put together in a bid to protect marine turtles while, at the same time, encouraging youngsters to think about the precious marine environment that the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) works to preserve.

Celebrate the Sea -- poetry written by four - 11 year olds (£3.50 plus p&p) is supported by the Cheltenham and Gloucester, of over 50 poems crafted by young minds that are genuinely concerned about their environment.
