Delayed Marine Conservation Zones could curtail green investment - 16 Nov 2011 - News from BusinessGreen
Business groups have warned that the government's decision to delay the establishment of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) will have the knock-on effect of impeding investment in the country's burgeoning marine industries, including renewable energy and sustainable fishery projects.
Environment minister Richard Benyon issued a written statement yesterday confirming that an impact assessment of MCZs conducted by Natural England and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee will now present formal advice in July, six months later than originally planned.
