We're adjacent to the river Yare, which leads to THE SEA!

Many of us eat fish, many of which come from THE SEA!

Many of us go to the beach on holiday, which is next to THE SEA!

Most Importantly: We love Nature, and huge proportions of the natural world are linked to, or reliant on, THE SEA!

We are an island nation. If we undertake to protect nature on the wonderful island of ours we need to take the coast and our marine environment into account.

There are currently 127 proposed Marine Conservation Zones in the legislative pipe-line. However DEFRA are currently proposing to cut these down to 23!

I think this is shocking!
