Overview

Seeking views on how the Marine Recovery Fund (MRF) will function.

We want to know what you think about the proposed Marine Recovery Fund (MRF), including:

  • the application process
  • the costs and charges
  • how it will deliver compensatory measures

The MRF will deliver industry-funded, strategic measures to compensate for adverse effects of offshore wind developments on marine protected areas. This will support the Clean Power Mission.
