Purpose

The
Marine Nature Recovery Framework is voluntary and is aligned to the
statutory, adopted Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Nature Recovery
Strategy, enabling an integrated approach across land, rivers and
seas. 
 
The
report sets out the background to the MNRF and recommends adoption
by Cabinet on behalf of Cornwall Council, representing a key
deliverable in response to the Council priority for Clean, Green
Cornwall with Healthy Rivers and Seas. 
The report recommends that Cornwall Council recognises its
leadership and facilitatory role in contributing to delivery of
marine nature recovery as set out in the emerging Grow Nature:
Council Nature Recovery Action Plan.  It
also seeks recognition that Cornwall Council supports the role of
the CIoS Local Nature Partnership (LNP) and relevant LNP subgroups
(namely the CIoS Marine and Coastal Partnership) in providing the
role of Steering Group to drive delivery of the MNRF alongside the
CIoS Nature Recovery Strategy as part of the system wide approach
required.
