P-04-411 : Petition Against Marine Conservation Zones in Pembrokeshire

Petition wording:

I call upon The National Assembly of Wales, to urge the Welsh Government to not include the three proposed Highly Protected Marine Conservation Zones in Pembrokeshire to be designated as no Take Zones for the inshore fishing industry

I believe that the wrong decision has been made in only planning to designate HPMCZ, prohibiting all extractive activities, this decision appears to have been made politically, rather than scientifically which is a key aspect of the MCZ process.

Petition raised by: Stephen De-Waine
