As the marine environment is dynamic, MMO’s services will need to continue to evolve to reflect changes and be flexible to adapt as more data and evidence emerges.
MMO is ready to take a greater role in delivering the UK government’s climate goals and net zero target. MMO has unique expertise across UK and global marine management and can make a major contribution to the UK Government’s policy agenda.
Continued close collaborative working with partners such as Defra Group and ALBs will be an essential part of this strategy to maximise its impact.
MMO has an opportunity to become a leading national expert on climate change in the marine environment, and on how best to achieve the ‘triple win’ of environment, economy and society in a complex and challenging situation. Doing so would enable a significant benefit to the UK and more widely.
