Take fossil fuel extraction out of the Welsh National Marine Plan

Please remove these words from the draft Marine Plan:"optimising the economic development and recovery of UK oil & gas resource in order to provide Welsh and wider UK businesses and consumers with a secure and resilient supply of fossil fuels"

Why is this important?

This clause contradicts the commitments made by the Assembly in their declaration of a "climate emergency".
It was used by the oil and gas giant, Eni, to justify their application for a license in Cardigan Bay this May.
It will be set in stone for twenty years, according to Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths, this month, when the WNMP is approved.
