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:
Doctors accept three-year pay offer
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
Annual Tynwald Day celebrations to get underway
