Our views on marine

From fishing to windfarms, and coastal defence works to oil pipelines, the pressures facing our important and often sensitive marine wildlife are many.

We work constructively with developers and the governments throughout the UK to prevent developments damaging these sensitive habitats and species. Where this is not possible, we will oppose proposals that damage our marine wildlife.

Marine cases

Offshore wind development in Scottish territorial waters

Scotland is of outstanding international importance for its breeding seabirds, yet offshore windfarms may threaten these populations and the marine areas they use if located in the wrong place.

Filey Bay

Filey Bay has given life to generations of seabirds, but in recent years it has also claimed many victims.

Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project

Four hundred years ago, the Essex coast was a wild and beautiful place, a haven for wildlife and a source of livelihood for local communities. Today, less than a tenth of this wild coast remains.

Atlantic Array Offshore Wind Farm

We aim to ensure that a proposed offshore wind farm in the outer Bristol Channel only proceeds with the proper environmental safeguards in place.

Argyll Array Offshore Wind Farm, Tiree

Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) announced in February 2009 that they had secured development rights to investigate the potential for an offshore wind farm west of the Island of Tiree. It will be challenging to deliver a development on this site that does not cause significant environmental impacts.
