News story: Marine plan development workshops announced

The Marine Management Organisation has announced a new series of marine planning workshops for the north east, north west, south east and south west marine plan areas.

The workshops are part of the next step in the development of the marine plans, which will formally start in February 2017, with the launch of a questionnaire.

This is an important stage in the first year of marine planning for these marine plan areas, providing the opportunity to see how the issues and evidence gathered as part of last summer’s call are being taken forward.

The workshops will discuss the issues and evidence database in more detail and examine what policies are needed to address the economic, social, environmental and governance issues in each marine plan area. The workshops will discuss potential policies in greater detail, feeding into the process for the next stage of plan development.

In addition the workshops will review the proposed new format for the marine plans, which is more interactive, linking to our Marine Information System (MIS), and understand more about how stakeholders expect to use the marine plans.

The workshops will be taking place in February and March at the following locations and times:

We cannot let those who wish to take Northern Ireland back to its painful and violent past succeed – Dave Anderson

Dave Anderson MP, Labour’s Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary, commenting on
reports of the shooting of a police officer in Belfast, said:

“This attack is deeply concerning; our thoughts are with the
injured officer.

“This is a stark reminder of the danger all PSNI officers face
every day when performing their duties. We cannot let those who wish to take
Northern Ireland back to its painful and violent past succeed.“
