New Marine protection zone

Today the Prime Minister announced an expansion of our Marine Protection Zone around our overseas territories.

The island of Tristan da Cunha is the latest to introduce a protection zone closing 90% of its waters to human activity.

This brings the total of UK waters protected to 4.3million sq km - approx 1% of the oceans, a size equivalent to 14 times the size of the UK.

Boris Johnson is urging other nations to follow suit with an aim to protect 30% of the worlds oceans by 2030.

Marine protection zones allow depleted species to recover, the waters to be cleaned up and important fish stocks to recover.

This is great news and a step forward in protecting the planet and reducing the impact of climate change
