UK Ports Alarmed by Proximity of New Conservation Zones

There is alarm amongst port authorities about the prospect of Marine Conservation Zones being designated either within or near to port areas when decisions are announced later this year on which sites will receive formal designation. There are currently 31 sites on which a decision will be taken over the coming months, some of which could have a major influence on port traffic. There are further  sites, not due for designation in this first round, but which could be designated at a later date.
