Preserve British protection of the Chagos islands marine reserve
To ensure the marine park is protected from external economic exploitation to accepted standards. Exclusion of the industrial fisheries of the Far East with their vast nets, & miles of long lines, is critical. To maintain this 'marine ecological masterpiece' should -must- be above politics.

We understand that you are concerned about the protection of the Marine Protected Area, but we are not sure what specific action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take. The 3 October UK and Mauritius joint statement stated: "More broadly, the UK and Mauritius will cooperate on environmental protection, maritime security, combating illegal fishing, irregular migration and drug and people trafficking within the Chagos Archipelago, with the shared objective of securing and protecting one of the world’s most important marine environments. This will include the establishment of a Mauritian Marine Protected Area."
