Seafish comments on Marine Conservation Zone Project Ecological Network Guidance

Summary

This is Seafish's response to the call for comments on the draft Marine Conservation Zone Project Ecological Network Guidance to the Regional Stakeholder Groups on Identifying Marine Conservation Zones, put out by Natural England and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. The original consultation document is available from http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/Images/100317_ENG_v8-0_tcm6-17607.pdf. Seafish is concerned with the lack of transparency in the development of the draft guidance and with the weak scientific evidence on which the draft guidance is based.
