Government’s vision for the MMO

“Our vision for this new organisation is of a professional and

proactive marine manager, trusted by all stakeholders to make a

unique contribution to the sustainable development of the marine

area. It will make decisions on the majority of marine

developments and, where it is not the decision making body, it will

be a key advisor on marine issues, bringing consistency to the

decision making process.”

Huw Irranca-Davies

The key benefits that the Marine Management Organisation is expected to deliver include:

•the reconciliation of conflicting demands on the marine environment;

•that the new marine environmental licensing regime that it will operate will show efficiencies compared with current arrangements, and

•that by bringing together delivery of a number of policy areas that are currently separate, new efficiencies, expertise and insight will be generated.

The MMO is not the sole delivery body for government in the marine area. It will not:

•propose Marine Conservation Zones, as that is a role for Natural England and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, but will input to the process;•make decisions on oil and gas licensing, although marine plans will guide those decisions;•licence energy installations greater than 100MW or major ports, where the IPC is the regulator. Although here too, the IPC’s decisions will refer to marine plans made by the MMO;•deal with navigational safety of shipping or ship-to-ship transfers, which remain with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency;•deal with, which protection of maritime heritage except insofar as that is taken into account in marine plans or affects decisions made by the MMO.

What the MMO will doThe MMO will also undertake enforcement activity across these functions



04/19/23 9


Creating the MMOThe MMO will be comprised of staff or resources drawn from the following areas:

• The Marine and Fisheries Agency (which has functions that will transfer to the MMO) and which is the Shadow Body for the MMO• The Department for Transport (which has functions that will transfer to the MMO)• The Department of Energy and Climate Change) (which has functions that will transfer to the MMO)• New members of staff recruited to fill vacancies arising from the creation of the new functions that MMO will deliver.

Enforcement - the MMO is the government’s principal marine enforcement body for English territorial waters and offshore marine areas. It will need to be a respected and proportionate enforcer, fully conversant with current best practice.

Data and knowledge management – MMO will need to acquire and use data effectively to support its functions.

Engagement – the MMO will need to be capable of engaging Government, industry, other delivery bodies, NGOs, pressure groups and individuals in the work that it does.

Statistics - the MMO will need the statistical expertise to assess data related to its fisheries work and also ensure that its analysis of data for other areas similarly follows sound statistical practices.

Science – the MMO will need to build the MFA’s reputation to develop an authoritative voice concerning the marine the environment. This will need to be founded on its expertise and effective use of evidence and analysis.

Being recognized and being heard – like other important delivery bodies MMO will need to be a recognised brand, and it will need to manage its public voice so that it is respected and trusted for the expertise it offers.

Some things that the MMO will need to be ‘good at’

Economics and social sciences - as a body charged with assessing all 3 pillars of sustainability, the MMO will need the right expertise to inform its work and the advice it gives to government.

MMO Operating Model



04/19/23 13


Although the MMO will work with a range of organisations, there are some significant working partnerships to be forged with:

The Infrastructure Planning Commission - where MMO has a role as a statutory consultee advising on licence conditions for developments that have a marine element, and subsequently in enforcing those conditions

Inshore Fishery and Conservation Authorities - where the MMO will both have a role in appointing members and itself have a place. It will also collaborate closely with IFCA s on enforcement

Natural England – where MMO has a role in advising on the social and economic aspects of Marine Conservation Zone designation and post designation, in enforcement .

The Environment Agency - The Environment Agency has sought that duties be placed on MMO and on IFCAs to deliver compliance with Water Framework Directive objectives.

Maritime and Coastguard Agency – where MMO has an ongoing need for access to MCA data on vessels and will work with MCA on response to marine pollution as Defra’s lead organisation.

Local Government – where the MMO will work closely with Local Authorities in their role in relation to IFCAs and on integrated coastal zone management through the marine planning process
