Firstly, some GGG readers may have noticed that I have not been blogging for awhile and this is due to a building company cutting though my broadband internet and phone wires – thus whilst I am waiting for this problem to be sorted I have struggled to be online much.
However I have stayed late at work tonight to get at least one post up on GGG. In response to the lovely comments left on some of my posts – I promise that I will reply soon and also provide updates about my Environmental Studies, New Year Pledges and Veganism etc.
In the mean time here is an update about the Save Lyme Bay Reefs campaign that I have been involved in and which I reported about in the post ‘Help Save the Seaside’
So far:
* More than 8,000 people sent campaign postcards to the Secretary of State, Hilary Benn, asking the Government to protect the full 60 square miles of the reef.
* More than 3,000 people signed the online petition.
* To date, 59 MPs have signed the Early Day Motion on Lyme Bay.
* Oliver Letwin led a debate in the House of Commons, supporting the Wildlife Trusts position.
* Approximately 90 consultation responses were submitted to Defra.
Coastal Management
When managing coastal areas such as Lyme Bay it is extremely important to not only ensure that the environment is protected, but also that the needs of the population and also economy is taken into consideration too.
Do you think that you could do this?
