Recommendation 15
15
Cessation of funding for Lyme Bay undermines crucial long-term marine data collection.
Conclusion
Long-term data collection is critical to scientific analysis of the effectiveness of marine protection measures such as whole-site protections and their impact on ecosystem recovery. We are concerned that funding for Lyme Bay has stopped, and this will lead to a gap in long-term data collection and undermine marine conservation efforts. (Conclusion, Paragraph 66)
