Link welcomes the creation of the MMO as the centre of marine expertise. We 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 Irelandto 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 are in or affect the marine environment
