Draft priority species identified
Cornwall Council are immensely grateful to everyone who has helped to shape the emerging Marine Nature Recovery Framework (MNRF) to date, from the nearly 3000 people who responded to earlier public and strategic Nature Recovery surveys to the network of local experts who have attended marine workshops over the past 6 months.
As a result of the above engagement, the MNRF will now be focusing on the top ten marine priority list which will be subject to further consultation later this year. These are;
- Cetaceans
- Seals
- Tuna & cod
- Sharks & rays
- Seagrass
- Maerl
- Kelp & reefs
- Native oysters
- Mussels
- Polychaetes
Now that we have identified these priorities, we are focusing efforts on mapping existing areas which are important for these species and habitats and, if possible, opportunity areas where we can all focus our efforts to help maximise recovery.
If you have any issues or questions about the MNRF and the process of its development, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Nature Recovery Team at grow-nature@cornwall.gov(External link).uk.
Thank you for your contribution!
