Atlantic Frontier

EDM number 242 in 1998-99, proposed by Norman Baker on 26/01/1999.

That this House recognises the United Kingdom's Atlantic Frontier ocean wilderness as comprising the most important range of habitats and migration routes in United Kingdom waters for many little-known and rare species of whales and dolphins, including the blue whale; recognises that oil development in this area potentially poses a number of serious threats to whales and dolphins; and urges the Government to propose the Atlantic Frontier continental shelf to UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
