Marine reserves proposed for Sark

The Marine Conservation Society wants three areas of Sark's water to be designated as marine reserves.

That would mean no fishing could be done in those zones.

The three sites are L'Etacs to the south, Guillaumesse off the west coast and the Guilliot Caves.

The Marine Conservation Society says that Sark's waters are already very well managed, but that no take zones would increase the number and variety of marine species in the island's water.

Their Biodiversity Officer has been in Sark to discuss the proposals with fishermen and islanders - but says they're open to feedback and alternative suggestions for sites.
