Just one week left to Save Cardigan Bay (watch video)

7188846_cardigan_bay_mainCardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation is home to one of the UK’s largest breeding populations of bottlenose dolphins, and habitats such as reefs and sandbanks.

Scallop dredging was banned in 2010 in most of the protected area, meaning decades of dragging heavy dredges, with long steel teeth and mesh nets across the seabed, was finally at an end.

But now the Welsh Government wants to re-open Cardigan Bay SAC to scallop dredging.

And this is where our seas need your help.

Got five minutes? There’s just one week to go to have your say, so please act now.

Put pressure on Welsh Government to stop scallop dredging in the ‘protected’ area – find out how you can help here.

Sign a petition to stop this from happening here.
