Skomer MNR

Please act now to support Skomer MNR being designated as a highly protected MCZ Triggered in part by a truly poor consultation document and a badly mishandled consultation process, a well organised and determined opposition to the to HP MCZ proposal has developed.

The badly handled consultation has generated legitimate concerns, but misleading and alarming disinformation spread by a combination of fishing interests and people who seem ideologically opposed to HP MCZs has frightened many people blindly objecting to the proposals.

The opposition is so well orchestrated that there appears to be real risk the entire process will be abandoned by Welsh Government unless they receive a sufficiently large number of responses supporting HP MCZs.

It is important that Welsh Government stick to their policy both for the sake of the Welsh marine environment and for the Skomer MNR in particular.

Please respond positively to the consultation.
