What consideration has the Cabinet Secretary given to introducing a Wales-wide Code of Practice for watercraft, with a view to protecting out coastal marine life?
Natural Resources Wales has introduced a Wales-wide code of conduct, the Sea Wise Code, to help sea users understand how to protect marine life while enjoying the marine environment. The code is available on Natural Resources Wales website at the link below: https://naturalresources.wales/media/3513/sea-wise-code.pdfI am also aware of codes of conduct operating at Pembrokeshire Marine, Cardigan Bay and Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau Special Areas of Conservation. These have been put in place in response to local disturbance issues which have been identified by Natural Resources Wales as potential pressures on key habitats and species. A voluntary code of conduct for the Severn Estuary is under consideration.
