Article summary

The Welsh Government's Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies has announced the findings of an independent review of Welsh marine planning approaches. The review, commissioned following a recommendation from the Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee, endorsed the 2019 Welsh National Marine Plan as fit for purpose. In response, the government announced several initiatives including a study on marine net benefit approaches, expansion of Strategic Resource Areas (SRAs) and Wales's first detailed spatial assessment of its seas. These measures aim to balance marine development with ecosystem protection while supporting the government's climate and nature commitments.
