Irish Sea Conservation Zones is a project to help secure a healthy and productive future for the coast and waters of the Irish Sea.
 
Over the next few years, parts of the Irish Sea will be given further environmental protection. The users and interest groups of the Irish Sea will recommend which areas should be protected, and what form that protection should take. It's our job to help them. 
 
We want you to be involved.
 
Have your say
 
If you are reading this website, you probably have something to say that we need to hear. Anyone who can help identify which parts of the Irish Sea should be protected has an important role to play, including people who might benefit or lose out. The process is open to all sectors, views and opinions. There’s no time to waste. Have your say.
