Our seas are under pressure like never before; decades of over exploitation, pollution and unchecked development have resulted in continued biodiversity loss and the degradation of marine habitats.

But there is a way to help bring our seas back to life!

Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs) are a new type of marine designation designed to allow marine life to recover. By giving special areas the best possible protection, they’ll benefit nature, people and the climate, too.

Thanks to the campaigning of The Wildlife Trusts and over 17,000 of our amazing supporters, the first three HPMAs have now been designated in English waters.
