PORTS of Jersey has launched a new project designed to better protect protect local landscapes, wildlife, and seas.

The Conservation Roadmap sets out plans to take care of natural areas within the Ports of Jersey sites including Rozel, Jersey Airport, Bonne Nuit as well as creating new green spaces.

The initiative also educational and outreach programmes designed to support Islanders in protecting the environment and a framework for Ports infrastructure developments to assist nature

Sophie Alexander, head of sustainability and community value at Ports, said: “Our Conservation Roadmap is about caring for the places and wildlife that make Jersey special. When nature thrives, so does our Island community. Working together with local experts and organisations, we’re committed to protecting Jersey’s land and sea for future generations.”

This comes as part of their wider ‘Planet and People’ plan, which includes ambitions such as achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, improving community wellbeing and resource circularity.

Ports of Jersey will be reporting annually on their progress.
