Politicians have voted unanimously for a marine plan from Jersey's government but have rejected another proposal to increase the amount of protected areas in it.

Environment Minister Deputy Steve Luce presented the States Assembly with a Marine Spatial Plan in which 23% of Jersey’s waters would be marine protected areas.

The Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel had wanted to extend those areas by another 4% to protect more habitats around Jersey’s offshore reefs.
