The government has released a new Marine Spatial Plan to protect Jersey’s marine environment. Blue Marine is disappointed that the protected area was reduced from 27 per cent to just over 23 per cent. Environment Minister Steve Luce said he wanted to balance different uses of the marine environment and considered feedback from fishermen. Clare Brook, Blue Marine’s CEO, supported the government’s efforts but urged for more areas to be protected in the future to meet international biodiversity goals.
