Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum has introduced key updates to the Pembrokeshire Marine Code.
This voluntary code, developed in collaboration with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and the RSPB, plays a crucial role in supporting the sustainable enjoyment of Pembrokeshire’s coastline by minimising disturbance to sensitive marine species and habitats.
The recent updates make the Pembrokeshire Marine Code more accessible and user-friendly, with enhanced resources available online and on-site through beachside noticeboards and the Wales Coast Explorer App. These tools ensure that everyone can understand and follow the guidance to help preserve the area’s natural beauty.
Pembrokeshire Marine SAC Officer Sue Burton said:
“As more people visit our stunning coastline, it’s essential that we protect the sensitive marine and coastal species within the Pembrokeshire Marine SAC. The visibility of the Pembrokeshire Marine Code - through initiatives like beachside noticeboards and the Wales Coast Explorer App - has been instrumental in raising awareness, ensuring that more people understand the importance of protecting our marine habitats while enjoying all that Pembrokeshire has to offer.”
Continued support from organisations like Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, Natural Resources Wales, RSPB, Wildlife Trust, and the National Trust underscores the Pembrokeshire Marine Code’s effectiveness in fostering sustainable coastal recreation.
