Pembrokeshire Agreed Access Restrictions

The maps highlight the existing agreed access restrictions, which have been drawn up by conservation experts and coastal users. The use of a spatial approach allows marine users to avoid areas during times where marine animals can be more vulnerable, such as seabird nesting or Atlantic grey seal pupping.
