Ten marine species have been deemed “most in need” of protection in Cornwall’s waters.

Cornwall Council has created a list of marine plants, animals, and habitats that it believes need protection and recovery.

The list is seals, seagrass, maerl, kelp reef, native oyster, whales and dolphins, mussels, sharks and rays, tuna and cod, and seaworms.

This is playing fast and loose with the use of the word ‘species’, I’d say. However, good to hear overall.
