Marine Act seminar - Tuesday 30 March 2010

A seminar on the implications of the Act for those involved in managing or developing the marine and coastal environment.

When the Act received Royal Assent in November last year it was seen as "historic ground-breaking legislation fulfilling the Government's commitment to introduce a new framework for managing the demands we put on our seas, improve marine conservation, and open up access for the public to the English coast."  Do you know how it affects your business?

In this day seminar, jointly organised by Tozers LLP, Solicitors and Royal Haskoning, environmental consultants, we will draw together up-to-date and relevant knowledge of how the Act will affect the work of those involved in managing or developing the marine and coastal environment.

With experts from our two firms and other specialists from organisations such as the Marine Management Organisation, Natural England, Finding Sanctuary and Devon Wildlife Trust, this will be an ideal opportunity for you to hear how key elements of the new law affect your business.  Topics will include:

• marine spatial planning
• marine licensing regime
• coastal access provisions
• marine conservation zones
• implications for marine renewables
• changes to fisheries management
• coastal landowners rights and responsibilities

We do hope you can join us.  Please complete a booking form and return before the 22 March to secure your place.
