Oooh! Had a look at the updates for some of the other regions, especially the Channel Islands, and I think their update cites a comment posted by me!
“Leave it alone. Things are fine just the way they are. Can’t think what you think can be achieved in such a secluded and unspoilt area.”
Since the Channel Islands are not part of the UK (and hence nothing the MCS recommends will have the slightest impact unless the island governments make a conscious decision to listen to them) I'm pretty sure the MCS is wasting its time worrying about them. I wish the same could be said of Studland (and don't forget Worbarrow Bay - that is also on the MCS list for MPAs).
