Here's the new MPAs report published yesterday:
https://gov.uk/government/publications/marine-protected-areas-network-report-2019-to-2024
Also a notable silence about Highly Protected Marine Areas. There are just 3 tiny HPMAs so far. More are needed to allow marine life to recover (including fisheries) and to help meet the #30x30 pledge.

Two things struck me when reading the paper’s executive summary
1. It appears to include inshore waters not limited to tidal
2. I’m not used to reading references to *bylaws in such papers where primary legislation and ministerial oversight is concerned
I wonder how *uncommon this is
