Coastal and Marine Working Group

Up one level

With a membership drawn from many of the coastal protected areas within the Atlantic Isles, the CMWG aims to secure the adoption by policy makers at all levels of a set of principles for integrating the planning and management of coastal protected landscapes with the marine environment. It has set out the way forwards with a detailed agenda concerning marine protected areas, marine spatial planning and Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). For information on the CMWG, or on coastal issues generally, contact the Group Co-ordinator, Edward Holdaway: PO Box 10 Fishguard SA65 9YW 01348 875389
