Highly Protected Marine Areas pilot sites
The UK government is consulting on pilot Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs) in English waters for biodiversity recovery.
Detail
We want to know your views on designating a number of pilot HPMAs in English waters.
In 2021, the UK government committed to piloting a number of HPMAs in response to the Benyon Review. Five candidate sites have now been identified.
The consultation seeks views and additional information on each of these sites to inform a final decision as to which HPMAs should be designated.
