consultation: inquiry into the management of Marine Protected Areas in Wales

The Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee has launched a consultation as part of its inquiry into the management of Marine Protected Areas in Wales. Objectives of the inquiry:

• To assess the management of Welsh marine protected areas with a view to identifying opportunities to maximise the economic, social, environmental and cultural benefits that can be derived from them.
  
• To understand what the implications of leaving the European Union will be for marine protected areas and to identify any issues that will need to be addressed during the exit process.

 
The deadline for responses is 10 February 2017.
