"Mr President, of the global land mass, some 6% is protected as national park. But of our seas, only 3% by surface area is protected at all, and less than 1% is highly protected – that is, completely closed to fishing. In the UK it is 0.001%.
fisheries policy. When I ask them what further steps they want, 99% say more marine conservation zones around our coasts. A number of Europe’s marine areas are protected through sites of Community importance to protect specific species and sub-sea geology. One such area is Lyme Bay in my constituency. Early findings from research in these areas, including by the excellent Marine Institute of Plymouth University, indicate that sub-sea aquaculture is beginning to recover. We need a partnership between fishermen, scientists and conservationists to do this, and if we add it to the opportunity for investment in renewable energy generation, we can do much to protect our aquaculture."@en1
