Marine Conservation Zones (England)
MCZ
These are the boundaries for designated and recommended Marine Conservation Zones including the new tranche 3 consultation boundaries. Marine Conservation Zones are designated under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009). They protect nationally important marine wildlife, habitats, geology and geomorphology. The Marine Conservation Zone Project concerns the selection of MCZs in English inshore waters and offshore waters next to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sites will be selected to protect not just the rare and threatened, but the range of marine wildlife. Attribution statement: Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

This is a marine habitat mapping dataset, created using remote sensing data and groundtruthing data. Boundaries between habitats were derived from remote sensing such as aerial photography and acoustic data collection, then groundtruthed using a number of direct or indirect observations. Some extrapolation of the remote sensing may have occurred during production.
