  4. Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 • UK Marine Policy Statement (MPS) (Part 3, Ch 1) • England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland • Formal adoption by April 2011 • Marine Planning Regions (s49) • English Inshore • English Offshore • Welsh Inshore • Welsh Offshore • Marine plan authority may prepare marine plan for marine plan area within its marine planning region

  5. Marine Planning - England • MMO formally established 1 April 2010 • Defra consultation on marine plan areas within the English Inshore and Offshore Marine Regions • June/July – announcement re areas and consultation on draft MPS and marine planning guidance • Timing – 2 marine plans every 2 years, taking 24-30 months each • Devon & Severn IFCA to be established • Defra Consultation - establishing IFC districts and Authorities
