I appreciate that rationale but in terms of climate change, carbon-rich habitats in our oceans are incredibly important so it seems strange to have legislation on marine protected areas that does not even mention that. I appreciate not wanting to have a long list but this is of incredible strategic importance to us in our climate change strategy.
