Een gezonde Noordzee begint met effectieve natuurbescherming

Op papier is zo’n 30% van de Nederlandse Noordzee beschermd, maar in de praktijk zijn schadelijke activiteiten in een groot deel van de beschermde gebieden nog toegestaan. Beschermd is dus niet écht beschermd. En dit heeft grote gevolgen: meer dan 90% van de Noordzeenatuur verkeert inmiddels in slechte staat. Gelukkig weten we dat het anders kan. Op onze nieuwe factsheet laten we zien hoe, én wat effectieve natuurbescherming ons brengt.
