Marine Licences Northern Ireland - 2011 to Present

The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 provides for a marine licensing system across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland’s offshore region. In Northern Ireland, it applies to all our marine waters from the mean high water spring tide mark out to 12 nautical miles (the inshore region). This includes the waters of any sea lough, estuary, or river, so far as the tide flows at mean high water spring tide. DAERA Marine and Fisheries Division is responsible for licensing various activities such as construction works, deposits in the sea, removal of objects or aggregates from the seabed, dredging from the seabed, or use of explosives and incineration. This spatial layer show all the marine licence applications received to carry out a licensable activity under Part 4 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, from 2011 to the present.《2009年海洋与沿海通道法案》（Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009）规定了适用于英格兰、威尔士、北爱尔兰以及苏格兰近海区域的海洋许可制度。在北爱尔兰境内，该法案的覆盖范围为从平均大潮高潮线向外延伸至12海里（近岸区域）的全部海域，涵盖所有在平均大潮高潮线处受潮汐影响的滨海海湾、河口及河流水域。北爱尔兰农业、环境与农村事务部（Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, DAERA）海洋与渔业司负责对多项活动发放许可，包括海上施工作业、海上倾倒作业、移除海床物体或海床集料、海床疏浚，以及使用爆破装置和海上焚烧作业。 本空间图层涵盖了2011年至今收到的、依据《2009年海洋与沿海通道法案》第四部分可开展的许可类活动的全部海洋许可申请。
