Reporting of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) Contribution to the UK Network

Section 124 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act (MCA Act) requires Welsh Government to report on the extent to which they have achieved the objectives in the Act to use conservation sites to contribute to a UK network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Initial reporting takes place in 2012 and subsequently every 6 years. The purpose of this data capture was to provide supporting information to the Welsh Government Marine Protected Areas of Wales in both the offshore and inshore marine environment. Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) have provided a report and supporting information to WG which provides an assessment of the representative and replication of the suite of Welsh MPAs, as well as a discussion of management and condition evidence to date. A copy of the data is archived at CCW as a record of the evidence provided for the initial reporting.
