Marine Management Organisation Marine Plan Areas Web Feature Service (WFS)

The 'Marine Plan Areas' are 10 sub-areas of the 'English inshore and offshore marine planning regions'. The marine plan authority (the Secretary of State in England) is responsible for preparing marine plans for these 10 plan areas with responsibility for plan development delegated to The Marine Management Organisation.
The MMO may wish to make specific local modifications to boundaries if it is perceived that the proposed boundaries could lead to unnecessary difficulties with either the implementation of the Marine Policy Statement or the integration with planning and management mechanisms on land. The boundaries will be subject to stakeholder consultation through the Statement of Public Participation - a process undertaken at the start of plan making.

‘海洋规划区域’系英格兰近岸及海上规划区域之下的十个子区域。海洋规划主管部门（英格兰国务秘书）负责制定涵盖这十个规划区域的海洋规划，规划发展责任则委托于海洋管理机构。若认为提议的边界可能导致在实施海洋政策声明或与陆地规划与管理机制整合过程中产生不必要的困难，海洋管理机构可能希望对边界进行特定的局部调整。边界调整将接受利益相关者的参与式协商——该过程在规划制定初期进行。” }
