Marine Planning Issues with Supporting Evidence

Closed 17 Jan 2025

Opened 7 Oct 2024

Overview

In 2023, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs agreed with the Marine Management Organisation's recommendation to replace the East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plans. The adopted East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plans will be replaced with a new 'East Marine Plan' which will be the first of a second generation of plans for English waters. The new document will be referred to as the 'East Marine Plan'.

Following the publication of the East Marine Plan Statement of Public Participation (linked here), the next stage within marine plan development involves gathering issues with supporting evidence. The call for issues is the start of our conversation with stakeholders about what the opportunities, challenges and needs are for the east marine plan areas over the next 20 years. The call is also looking to gather evidence to support these issues.  

Why your views matter

It is important that all those with an interest in the UK’s marine environment can have their say in the process to replace the East Marine Plans and contribute to shaping the east marine plan areas’ seas and coast. Find out more about Issues with Supporting Evidence here.

This survey is an opportunity for you to input into plan development by providing your perspective on the issues in the east marine plan areas, along with any supporting evidence. The issues and evidence collated will be vital in developing a relevant and useful Marine Plan.

How to respond

Once you have submitted your response, you will be sent a receipt and a link to a PDF copy of your response.
