Finding Sanctuary

Finding Sanctuary is the first of four regional projects tasked with designing Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) around England and recommending them to Government in June 2011. Marine Conservation Zones are a new designation introduced by the Marine and Coastal Access Act. We will work with stakeholders to design MCZs in the south-west as part of a wider network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The MPA network will be a collection of different sites that work together to provide more benefits than an individual site could on its own.
