Abstract

These Regulations specify the zone beyond the territorial sea around the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man in which the United Kingdom’s jurisdiction is exercisable in order to protect and preserve the marine environment. They are made in accordance with Parts V and XII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which provide for coastal States to have jurisdiction over an exclusive economic zone for that purpose. Schedule 2 makes consequential amendments to other Statutory Instruments which contain measures to protect and preserve the marine environment.
