The map above outlines the location of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) according to the definition of MPAs used for the Centre. The map currently contains information on Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) , Special Protection Areas (SPA) , Voluntary MPAs and Marine Nature Reserves (MNR) . However, at present, historical and cultural features are not included. This interactive map will be fully developed to include key information on each of the sites e.g. contact details for the MPA manager/warden/nature conservation agency officer, a link to relevant websites including the local Sea Fishery Committee and the features for which the site is designated are listed (where available). In addition, links to relevant publications for each of the sites will be developed.
If there are any sites which you think should be included on the map but are not currently on there, or if you have any other suggestions or comments, please contact us at info@ukmpas.org.uk
