Non-licensable activity impacts on Marine Protected Areas

Project Aim

Develop a sufficiently robust evidence base on the full range and types of marine non-licensable activities, their current and potential intensity, and risk of impact on marine protected areas (MPAs).

Background

The MMO has an obligation under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to further the conservation objectives of MPAs, including using its byelaw making powers and marine planning policy to directly or indirectly manage unlicensed activities. Non-licensable activities (covering a range of activities, from bait-digging for angling through to diving) within MPAs are not well understood in terms of the location or intensity in time and space.
