Guidance Note - Protected Wildlife Sites
There are more than 7000 protected wildlife sites in the UK, and many of these extend to the coast and inshore waters. • Some fishing activities may not have a significant impact on wildlife, some might need to be restricted in certain areas, but if so, it may be possible to find wildlife-friendly ways to keep working. • Breaking wildlife laws can result in a criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £20,000. • This Guidance Note will tell you about the protected wildlife sites in the UK, and how to work with the authorities to stay the right side of the law. -
Protected Marine Wildlife Species
All sea birds, and over 30 marine animal species, are legally protected in the UK wherever they are found. • Wildlife protection laws have been strengthened. Harming these protected wildlife species may now be a criminal offence, resulting in a fine of up to £5,000 and up to six months in prison. • Additional protection measures apply to wildlife in special areas around the UK, which are designated ‘safe havens’ for marine wildlife. • This Guidance Note will tell you which marine wildlife species are protected in the UK, and how to work with the authorities to help to protect wildlife, and stay the right side of the law. -

Seafish comments on Marine Conservation Zone Project Ecological Network Guidance
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 Seafish is concerned with the lack of transparency in the development of the draft guidance and with the weak scientific evidence on which the draft guidance is based. -

Environmental Data Gathering for Environmental Assessments_Basic Seabed Habitat Mapping using Acoustic Ground Discrimination Sonar and Underwater Video
A lack of information on the precise location of a protected marine habitat or refuge for a protected marine species has caused considerable delays in environmental impact assessments and at worst led to applications to develop shellfish farms being refused or withdrawn as regulators are unable to decide whether the farm site and/or access arrangements will or will not have a potential impact on a protected wildlife site (Seafish 2006 & 2007).
