Have your say

If you have an interest in the Irish Sea, we need to hear from you.
 
You might work in the fishing, oil and gas, shipping, wind energy or aggregates industries. Or you might be a diver, sailor or water sports enthusiast. Perhaps you have an interest in marine wildlife.  
 
Whatever your interest, we want you to have your say about where Marine Conservation Zones should be located in the Irish Sea, what they should protect and what activities may be restricted.  
 
It is likely that Marine Conservation Zones will restrict certain activities in some locations, so it’s essential that you have your say about where they should be. 
 
Our liaison officers are out and about all around the North West and they are happy to meet you, attend events or make presentations.
