Marine
The challenges faced by our clients
The new draft Marine Bill is the first step towards a coordinated system of UK marine law, with a new marine planning system and marine conservation powers. It aims to provide, for the first time, a strategic framework for policy in the marine area, with a streamlined licensing process and a more integrated approach to the land/sea interface.
An understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by the proposals is essential for anyone with an interest in the marine environment, including port operators and users, port and harbour authorities, developers, funders, central and local government.
How we can help
Working closely with our specialist Shipping team, we have been tracking the progress of this legislation for some time.
We can:- assist with responses to the consultation paper on the draft legislation
- advise you on how the proposals will affect you in practice, in particular the role of the new Marine Management Organisation, how the new licensing system will work, and the complexities of its application to England, Scotland and Wales
- keep you informed on the progress of this draft legislation.
