We need highly protected MCZs to: provide marine wildlife with a few places it can exist and thrive unmolested by us - we do this on land, there should not be a lower standard for the sea; enable marine ecosystems to recover from direct human impacts and increase their resilience; protect the marine ecosystem for the goods and services it gives us which we cannot exist without; help us understand the effects of human pressures on the marine environment and better understand what an unimpacted marine ecosystem is like. The purpose of highly protected MCZs is to safeguard and enhance the ecosystems within them, not simply fish and shellfish populations.\n","additional_details":null,"state":"completed","signature_count":298,"threshold_for_referral":50,"threshold_for_debate":5000,"created_at":"2012-07-11T00:00:00.000Z","updated_at":"2016-03-01T00:00:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-07-11T00:00:00.000Z","closed_at":"2012-08-31T00:00:00.000Z","completed_at":"2016-03-01T00:00:00.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-07-11T00:00:00.000Z","referral_threshold_reached_at":"2012-08-31T00:00:00.000Z","referred_at":"2012-08-31T00:00:00.000Z","debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"archived_at":"2016-03-01T00:00:00.000Z","submitted_on_paper":false,"submitted_on":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":null,"debate":null,"topics":[]}},{"type":"petition","id":220,"links":{"self":"https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/220.json"},"attributes":{"action":"Welsh Jobs","background":"We, the undersigned, call on the Welsh Assembly to urge the Welsh Government to encourage employers relocating to Wales, or opening new facilities and outlets here, to recruit and, where necessary, train local staff.  \n  \nSupporting information:  \nThere are examples from around Wales of new jobs being taken by, in some instances, entire workforces brought in from outside Wales.
