A Voice for Wembury's Natural Environment:

The Wembury Marine Conservation Area (MCA) Advisory Group was established in 1981 and has two main objectives:

1. To promote the conservation and study of the Wembury Marine Conservation Area (MCA) as defined in the map below.

2. To promote the education of the public, school children and students in the principles of marine conservation by the use of various interpretive media with due regard to intensifying pressures on a vulnerable site.

Wembury MCA Advisory Group's main aim is to support the Marine Centre in their brilliant engagement and education work, especially in inspiring youngsters about Wembury’s wonderful marine life. We also hope to give the Wembury Area a voice on marine conservation issues
