We may have heard of the Countryside Code, but the 2023 Marine and Coastal Wildlife Code gives specific advice on how you can help to minimise disturbance to wildlife when you visit the coast.
This essential guide highlights how to act responsibly when visiting the coast and how to recognise when you are disturbing marine wildlife.
‘The Marine and coastal wildlife code does not replace guidance from local councils or organisations. Instead, you can consider the code alongside guidance from other sources.’
‘Waste crime encompasses a range of illegal activities, including dumping, burning, illegal shipping of waste, mis-describing waste, and operating illegal waste sites.
Waste criminals put us all at risk every time they break the law. Their toxic crimes cause widespread and significant harm to people, places and the economy.
Waste criminals are all around us: Respondents estimate that a fifth of all waste produced may be illegally managed – that’s approximately 34 million tonnes every year across England, enough to fill 4 million skips.
The findings of this Environment Agency survey will now be used to shape the strategic response to waste crime.’
