The average person in the uk thinks that one fifth of our seas are protected marine reserves. The uk has a shocking record of protecting it's seas... we have only one tiny designated marine reserve, just off Lundy ( although there are other voluntary "no-take" zones) In fact, rather than protecting our marine environment.. we are hellbent on destroying it..scallop dredging, for example, a
practice that destroys entire marine habitats.
However, things are coming to a head. there is an upcoming marine conservation bill, which it was hoped, would set up areas where fishing, dredging, mining, dumping and intentional polluting would be banned (but diving would be permitted!).. it looks as though the government are going to back down, and instead offer up a weak, watered down version of this bill As a diver, our seas are your
playground. We need to persuade the government to think again.
More than 60% of our fishing is unsustainable. We need to protect our seas NOW!
