Marine and Coastal Access Bill

Key areas covered by the Marine and Coastal Access Bill and the New Marine Management Organisation.



Who will deliver the objectives of the Marine Bill ? The Government intends to set up a new Marine Management Organisation (MMO) to deliver many of the objectives for the marine area.

The new organisation will be a centre of marine expertise, provide a consistent and unified approach, deliver improved coordination of information and data and reduce administrative burdens.
