Marine And Coastal Access Bill

EDM number 1661 in 2008-09, proposed by Alan Meale on 15/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Marine environment.

That this House is aware that the UK's marine environment hosts an astonishing wealth of internationally important marine wildlife; acknowledges that the Marine and Coastal Access Bill currently passing through Parliament represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver long-awaited protection for the UK's coastal marine environment; and therefore believes it important that any nature conservation provisions contained in the Bill must contain an unambiguous duty to designate an ecologically-coherent network of such zones which will protect them from either extractive or otherwise damaging commercial activities, and must include actual prohibitions against sea life disturbance in such environments.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
