Marine Management Organisation
Link welcomed the establishment of the Marine Management Organisation under the Marine Act. We now look to it to:
- Be a leading body for the delivery of sustainable development of UK seas
- Work with the equivalent bodies in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to ensure marine ecosystems are managed in an integrated way
- Engage all stakeholders and sectors equally
- Produce the new marine plans for English and adjacent offshore waters, and regulate marine activities under the reformed licensing regime to deliver sustainable development
- Be a driver for strategic marine data collection and make that data available to all
- Play a leading role in advising on decisions regarding major infrastructure projects, which affect the marine environment
