Summary

These are the boundaries for Marine Conservation Zones, which are designated under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009). They protect nationally important marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology. The Marine Conservation Zone Project concerned the selection of MCZs in English inshore waters, and offshore waters next to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sites were selected to protect not just the rare and threatened, but also the range of marine wildlife and habitats. © Natural England copyright.
