MMO's and the Marine Bill

The Marine Bill white paper is now out and can be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/marinebill/index.htm

A Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is to be set up to control most aspects of the marine environment including aggregate dredging, wind farms and fishing quotas. Sea fisheries committees (SFC's) will be given new and more substantial powers. They may be renamed Coastal Water Committees .
