"It is recommended that the whole area of Jersey's offshore reefs should have the highest level of protection with a presumption against any new development. The Islands are included within the marine protection zone and have been approved as Ramsar sites."

"The Assistant Minister for Planning and Environment, Deputy Rob Duhamel, said: “Initiatives such as the Seabird Protection Zones are important as they assist in protecting certain species that are under pressure and give them a better chance of remaining a common sight around our coasts for this and future generations.”
"The bird species in this area are sensitive to disturbance and need to be treated with
respect and understanding."

One would have to ask Senator Cohen as to how it got passed.
And one could ask how building was allowed to take place when the birds were nesting there.
