Abstract

In January 2023 an independent advisory group was established by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to conduct an ecological sensitivity analysis of the western Irish Sea to inform future potential designation of MPAs (Marine Protection Areas) in the region. This report is a significant milestone as we look to manage the Irish Sea in a coherent and sustainable way, enabling and supporting the future designation of Marine Protected areas, and integrating MPAs with the maritime sectors of shipping and fishing and Renewable Offshore Energy. Further work under the forthcoming MPA legislation will enable potential MPA network solutions to be refined on the basis of national policy, analyses involving additional evidence and the participation and input of stakeho
