Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) are designated areas in the ocean aimed at protecting marine habitats and species. These zones help preserve biodiversity by restricting harmful activities like overfishing and pollution. MCZs are part of a broader effort to maintain healthy marine ecosystems. In many countries, including the United Kingdom, MCZs are established through a collaborative process involving scientists, conservationists, and local communities. By safeguarding critical areas, MCZs contribute to the sustainability of marine resources and support the overall health of the ocean, benefiting both wildlife and human populations.
