Balanced Seas

The sea is a vital component of life, prosperity and well being of the people in south-east England. Clean, balanced and healthy, seas are essential for sustainable development.

Balanced Seas is a project that will help to achieve healthy seas. It will work with all those with an interest in the marine environment to identify and recommend Marine Conservation Zones for the inshore and off-shore waters of the south-east.

Marine Conservation Zones will protect nationally important marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology. Stakeholders themselves will recommend these sites to Government.

The challenge is to balance the importance of biodiversity conservation with economic activity.

Working with all those with an interest in the project area is essential for success. The Balanced Seas project team is looking forward to working with all stakeholders.
