Our activities and actions can have a huge influence on our amazing marine environment. With the sea and the coast on our doorstep, more people are wanting to make it their home and visit these areas and get the benefits of being in, on, under or by the water. However; this also means more developments and more people taking part in recreational activities, increasing pressure and impacts on habitats and species that are also found there. It is important to understand these and how we can lessen them, allowing a positive influence, making space for nature and people.
