Urgent - help us stop the back tracking! An alarming new threat is facing England's seas. Over the past two years Devon Wildlife Trust has worked with a whole range of groups including fishermen, divers and recreational boat users to agree on areas of our seas that need protection. Nationally 127 areas - Marine Conservation Zones - have been identified that are absolute musts. These include the north Devon coast and Torbay seagrass beds. In a last minute change of heart the Government is threatening to pull out of three quarters of these havens. We must not let this happen. Devon Wildlife Trust is telling the Minister for the Natural Environment and Fisheries Richard Benyon that we care about our seas and that all 127 Marine Conservation Zones are urgently needed. This is the best opportunity in a generation to protect the wildlife of our seas. Will you help us by adding your voice today?
