MLC welcomes move after 'personal crusade'
Important habitats, and their birdlife, on the east coast of the Isle of Man will be protected for the future.
Eighty two acres of Marine Drive - between Douglas Head lighthouse and Port Soderick - have been designated as an Area of Special Scientific Interest.
MLC Bill Henderson led the initiative to get the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to put the ASSI in place.
He's described it as a 'personal crusade' and says it will make a real difference:
Ramsey MIU to close temporarily ahead of relocation of services
Storm Bram: Trees down amid widespread disruption
Treasury presents 2025-26 Department Plan to Tynwald
Further adjournment for attempted murder accused
Risk of overregulation ahead of Moneyval has led to 'friction'
