It is with great sadness that we write to inform you that John Hourston, the founder of the Blue Planet Society, has passed away after a short battle with cancer. For two decades John worked tirelessly to highlight the injustices faced by all ocean life. It started with just him and his laptop and from there he built an incredible community that had real impact. He worked tirelessly and revolutionised activism online without any need for personal recognition. His campaigns were passionate and persistent and they got results. John literally did not stop until his final day. We are devastated but we will ensure that his vision will continue. Our thoughts and hearts are with his family. With love, Lloyd, Deborah, Lewis and Richard.
