Marine Park Act 2004

The Marine Park Act 2004 is a law in the UK that provides legal protection for marine parks around certain islands, such as the Isles of Scilly. It establishes regulations to conserve and manage marine environments, including restrictions on activities like fishing or development that could harm the ecosystems. The Act helps ensure that these marine areas are preserved for their ecological importance, supporting biodiversity and sustainable use. It also sets mechanisms for managing and enforcing conservation measures, balancing environmental protection with responsible human activity in these protected waters.
