Lundy Marine Conservation Zone
The Lundy Marine Conservation Zone is a protected area located around Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, off the coast of England. Established in 2010, it aims to conserve marine habitats and species, promoting biodiversity and sustainable use of marine resources. The zone covers approximately 192 square kilometers and includes various ecosystems, such as rocky reefs and kelp forests.
This conservation zone is part of the UK's network of marine protected areas, which helps safeguard important marine life, including fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. By restricting certain activities like bottom trawling, the zone supports the recovery of marine populations and enhances the overall health of the marine environment.
