Marine Policy
The seas and coast of Wales are extremely important to our wellbeing.
Around 60% of the Welsh population live and work within our coastal zone whilst 70% of the coastline is recognised for its environmental importance and covered by a number of conservation designations. Wales is dependent on the trade, tourism, energy and fishing industries that our seas provide.
