Conservation matters to everyone in Jersey – it’s part of what makes our Island so special. Our landscapes, wildlife and seas are central to our way of life and wellbeing. But these precious habitats are under pressure, and together we must take steps to safeguard and revive them for the future.
That’s why Ports of Jersey has launched its Conservation Roadmap, a clear and practical plan to care for the land and sea we share. This roadmap sets out ambitious steps to protect habitats, promote native species and embed nature-positive principles into everything we do – aligning with Jersey’s environmental goals and global best practice.
What’s in the plan?
- Managing habitats better: Comprehensive plans to care for and improve natural spaces across Ports of Jersey sites.
- Creating new green spaces: Building habitats and wildlife corridors to help species thrive and stay connected.
- Embedding biodiversity in projects: Ensuring every infrastructure development delivers a net gain for nature.
- Inspiring our community: Supporting education and outreach programmes to raise awareness and encourage habitat protection.
Sophie Alexander, Head of Sustainability and Community Value, 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.”
The roadmap supports our wider Planet and People Plan, which includes ambitious goals such as achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, improving resource circularity and enhancing community wellbeing.
We’ll report annually on our progress, ensuring transparency and accountability as we work towards a more sustainable future for Jersey.
