Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

My Lords, I remember the noble Lord making that point in Committee. He has raised an entirely sensible point, but it would not be reasonable to expect that all marine conservation zones were extensively buoyed. There will have to be a sensible case-by-case approach. Sometimes signs may well be put up on the appropriate jetties. Divers should be expected to find out details about marine conservation zones from notice boards in diving clubs or yachting clubs. We are trying to achieve a sensible balance in the way that enforcement is approached. I fully accept what he says, but I cannot see that it is possible to legislate for. We are going to have to rely on a sensible case-by-case approach.
