Protecting the Marine Environment for Norfolk

Marine Conservation for Norfolk Action Group (MCNAG) was formed in 2021 to gather conservation interests into a coherent voice to aid engagement with EIFCA and their Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) activities.

The exclusion of conservationists from the MCZ management process in the past has been frustrating and has held back progress because the industry and DEFRA parties were not fully informed about conditions and impacts within the MCZ.

As a conservation group, we are principally concerned with the protection of the wildlife and geology that make up the precious marine environment off Norfolk. We are a group for active conservationists, engaging to better the marine environment wherever possible and aiming to bring together other organisations that are concerned about extractive, destructive or polluting activities in the sea off Norfolk.
