Monitoring Survey for England’s Marine Plans
The monitoring surveys are one method used to provide data on the use of the marine plans and to support the Marine Management Organisations’ (MMOs) understanding of the influence marine plan policies have in the decision-making process. Information shared with the MMO is used to support a three-yearly report to Parliament on the impact and effectiveness of marine plans.
The monitoring survey will benefit from your experience of using the marine plans and are the MMOs primary source of data collection to inform the monitoring and evaluation of marine plan use and impact.
Your time and effort in completing the monitoring survey is valuable to the MMO and they welcome your feedback by completing the monitoring survey here for the North West Marine Plans
Please submit completed monitoring surveys by 30 June 2023.
Alongside the surveys the MMO are running drop-in sessions to support stakeholders in completing the surveys. These sessions are open to all stakeholders, where marine planners will be available to run through questions or provide any assistance you may require.
