The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) established the Review of Marine Nature Conservation Working Group as a forum to help Government develop possible future mechanisms to protect, conserve and manage nationally important marine wildlife sites in the seas around England. This 2000 report, one of several prepared by English Nature for the Working Group, focused on an implementation framework within which any national marine conservation measures might be applied. It seeked to provide the way by which the principles and approaches set out in the previous papers could be expressed in a structured, integrated and appropriate manner across territorial and continental shelf waters, to the limits of UK jurisdiction.
