Marine cases

From fishing to windfarms, 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 which threaten to damage our marine environments and their wildlife.
