Wales already has a good coverage of marine protected areas that exclude fishing methods like scallop dredging.
The Welsh Government decided on an approach of making a few ‘highly protected’ MCZs: closed to all forms of fishing as well as other activities that could cause damage to the seabed or wildlife.
