The UK government have said a lack of money is stopping them from protecting wildlife in the seas around the UK.
Bad News!
Environment ministers say the country's current financial problems mean they haven't been able to secure as many areas as they had hoped to.
Originally 127 areas were selected to become special Marine Conservation Zones but now it's thought only 31 will be created.
The final decision will be made on Sunday.
Jolyon Chesworth from the Wildlife Trusts said: "We are disappointed at the rate of progress. The government has an international obligation to protect wildlife in the seas."
Around the world just 0.6% of the world's oceans have been protected, compared to almost 13% of our planet's land area.
