Gulls came off the GL well after that. In June 2019, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) removed herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls from general licenses due to concerns about their conservation status. The UK's conservation status for herring gulls is red, and amber for lesser black-backed gulls. Natural England (NE) assessed the scale of licensed activities and determined that the recent levels were unsustainable and could harm the population of both species.
