Recommendation 23

We have heard evidence suggesting that the Marine Management Organisation may be acting as a stumbling block rather than a facilitator of a thriving maritime economy. The Minister for Maritime needs to work with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to improve operations within the Marine Management Organisation and the service received by ports, which rely on it for prompt advice in securing development while preserving the marine environment.
