Consultation on new measures to protect sensitive habitats and species
The Marine Management Organisation has launched a 12-week consultation on new measures to protect 30,000 km² of England’s most sensitive marine ecosystems.
Proposed changes include restrictions on damaging fishing gear in 42 Marine Protected Areas to help restore vital habitats and species like rocky reefs, fan mussels, and ocean quahogs.
