Let's bring our seas back to life
Help us get a network of protected areas in English seas – places where wildlife and habitats are safe and where fish stocks can recover. Become a Friend of Marine Conservation Zones.
Become a Friend of Marine Conservation Zones
The UK’s seas are home to half our wildlife but many
undersea habitats have already been lost, fish stocks have declined and species
are at risk. In order to protect our seas, the UK Government are designating a
network of Marine Conservation Zones around the English coast – areas of seabed
where marine wildlife and habitats are protected. These, alongside other
protected areas, can help give our seas the protection they need to recover and
thrive. The Government has already designated 50 sites over 2 phases (2013 and
2016) and has committed to designating a third tranche of sites by 2018. We will
be working hard to ensure this third and final tranche of sites is ambitious
enough to give our seas the protection they deserve. But we need your help. Please
join our growing team of ‘Friends of Marine Conservation Zones’ and help to
ensure all these precious places get the protection they need. Become a Friend

government’s third & final consultation
