Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs) would offer the best possible protections for our seas. These areas will give nature the best chance to recover by banning development, fishing and other pressures. Good for nature, good for people and good for the climate, too! The Government is asking for public views on five proposed sites – help us fight for all five sites to be designated using our simple form.

Protecting our seas and coasts is essential for nature's recovery.  We want to see reefs, seagrass beds, kelp forests and all other marine habitats restored.

Devon has 15 Marine Conservation Zones with some of the most beautiful and charismatic marine life anywhere in Europe. But wildlife in our seas needs greater protection. That's why we want to see the creation of Highly Protected Marine Areas.

Devon Wildlife Trust is a charity that exists to protect all wildlife in Devon and to safeguard Devon’s unique natural environment. Find out what we do here.

Partnership is at the heart of how we work. In whatever we do, we seek out groups and organisations who add value to our mission and strength to our voice, who can bring expertise and diverse perspectives. We do not work alone, and our partners are our friends, our colleagues and a play a crucial role in our successes.

The Saving Devon’s Treescapes project will be asking volunteers to monitor trees as well as key species to help us better understand the health of Devon’s treescapes.
