Local Groups

Coastline
Finding Sanctuary, working together with maritime forums, groups and local government is establishing Local Groups in Devon, Dorset, Somerset and the Isles of Scilly. Cornwall already has a Marine Protected Area Group which will take on the same role as the new Local Groups.
A healthy future for the coast and seas

Although the Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) recommendations will be made at the regional level by the Steering Group, we need to have local suggestions and knowledge, together with ongoing feedback to ensure MCZs are well planned and therefore have stronger support from local communities.To find out more, contact your Local Group representative.
