Y llynedd, aethom ati i ymgynghori ar opsiynau ar gyfer Parthau Cadwraeth Morol gwarchodedig iawn. Cafwyd ymateb da iawn i’r ymgynghoriad, a mynegwyd safbwyntiau amrywiol a chryf. Sefydlwyd tîm gorchwyl a gorffen, gyda chefnogaeth gan Grŵp Ffocws Rhanddeiliaid, i ystyried a rhoi cyngor ar sut y dylem ddatblygu Parthau Cadwraeth Morol yng Nghymru. Rwyf wedi cyfarfod â’r ddau grŵp hwn i ddiolch iddynt am eu cyfraniad cadarnhaol ac adeiladol gydol y broses.
Last year we consulted on options for highly protected Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs). This generated a substantial response that expressed divergent and strongly held views. A task and finish team, supported by a Stakeholder Focus Group, was established to consider and advise how we should take forward MCZs in Wales. I have met with both of these groups to thank them for their positive and constructive contribution throughout the process.
