Cumbria Coast

Cumbria Coast is one of England's Marine Conservation Zones. It was designated in 2013 and is one of a number of such zones off the coast of Cumberland and Furness.

The MCZ covers the stretch of sea from Whitehaven down to the mouth of the Ravenglass Estuary. It includes the sea off Sellafield (the nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear decommissioning site), and off St Bees Head.
