A scrutiny panel has said the environment minister needs to make two "key amendments" to a plan to protect Jersey's marine environment amid concern it could destroy important habitats.

The Environment Minister Deputy Steve Luce published a revised version of the Marine Spatial Plan, external (MSP) in July that reduced the amount of protected marine area from 27% to 23% of island waters.

He said he was trying to balance the needs of "the fishing fleet and the environmentalists".
