Recommendation 16
16
Reinstate DEFRA funding for sustained long-term data collection and monitoring at Lyme Bay.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) reinstates funding to ensure the long-term data collection and monitoring at Lyme Bay is sustained to enable scientific analysis of the benefits of whole-site approaches for marine protection. We urge DEFRA to make this decision urgently to ensure the continuous data collection at this site is not compromised. (Recommendation, Paragraph 67)
