🚨 UK Govt will propose bottom trawling bans in English offshore protected areas at #UNOC today!
🌊 Many could be FULL bans over the WHOLE area. 🎉
If implemented, this could protect an area of seabed DOUBLE the size of all England’s national parks combined! 🪸 Stay tuned for updates as they come.

A very interesting and heartening intervention, now we need urgent action to address the barriers to community led rewilding, and whole site protection for our MPAs.
Great to hear Minister Emma Hardy present the UK Government's ambition for our seas at the Ocean and Coastal Futures Conference this morning.
It was heartening to see the vital role of MPAs in tackling the biodiversity and climate crises recognised.
