Summary

Our seas also support over 10,000 plant and animal species, including our nations’ largest and most impressive animals such as seals, whales, dolphins and sharks. Important coastal habitats such as estuaries are a focus for wildlife, attracting vast flocks of birds and shoals of fish. We must all ensure that the value of our coasts and seas is maintained for future generations. We welcome the forthcoming Marine Bill and believe that new approaches to management will be vital to the health of the marine environment, including a statutory marine spatial planning framework; stronger links between management of coasts and seas; simpler regulation of activities; better protection for our marine wildlife; improved management of fisheries and flood risk; and planning for the impacts of climate change. Our marine strategy will guide our work and allow us to build stronger partnerships with government and other organisations so that we can create cleaner coasts and healthier seas.
