We want to know your views on designating a number of pilot HPMAs in English waters.
In 2021, the UK government committed to piloting a number of HPMAs in response to the Benyon Review. Five candidate sites have now been identified.
The consultation seeks views and additional information on each of these sites to inform a final decision as to which HPMAs should be designated.
