What immediate actions are needed to protect the Goodwin Sands from destructive dredging, considering its historical and ecological significance?

The Goodwin Sands, a historically significant site containing over 2,000 shipwrecks and numerous aircraft, faces potential destruction from marine aggregate dredging. The Crown Estate, which owns the seabed, has refused to rule out future dredging despite conservation efforts by the Goodwin Sands Conservation Trust and concerns from historians like Dan Snow. This refusal jeopardizes a unique cultural and maritime heritage site.
