Why do we need marine planning?
Overarching driver – Increasing and competing use
of marine space and resources, impacting on the
sustainability of the marine environment
Perceived benefits but also expectations
•   Sustainable use of marine resources
•   Greater certainty for investors/developers
•   Improved basis for addressing cumulative effects
•   ‘Regional seas’ governance (ecosystem approach)
•   Proactive and forward planning
•   Plan for new activities and changing technologies
•   Framework for consistent decision making
•   Cohesion with coastal and terrestrial plans (ICZM)
•   Early involvement of stakeholders (“democratic deficit”)
Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009
• Long lead in time and preparatory work
• Supported by main political parties (commitment)

• Complex piece of legislation – Licensing, Fisheries,
  Nature Conservation, Coastal Access, Marine
  planning  “be careful what you wish for”

• Marine Management Organisation (April 2010)
   • Planning, licensing, fisheries, conservation delivery
   • Cross-government ‘agency’ (£)
   • Dedicated ‘core’ planning team (long haul) + in
     house support
   • Deliberately recruit from different backgrounds
   • New organisation!
The legal requirement for marine planning
• Aim: contribute to and help deliver sustainable development.
• Integrated approach (important message)
   • across environmental, economic and social factors
   • across sectors (including interactions, policies)
   • with other plans (including terrestrial)


• Marine Policy Statement (MPS): the overarching policy
  framework for the UK marine area (UK Govt and Devolved
  Administrations)

• Marine Plans will translate the MPS into detailed policy and
  spatial guidance for each plan area (MMO, SoS)
   • All plan ‘areas’ (sub-divisions around the coast)
   • Guide and direct decision makers, including Licensing
   • No timetable prescribed but report/review every 3-6 years
Marine Policy Statement
• High level framework which should ensure consistency

• 22 Goals (High Level Marine Objectives):
   •   Achieving a sustainable marine economy
   •   Ensuring a strong, healthy and just society
   •   Living within environmental limits
   •   Promoting good governance
   •   Using sound science responsibly

• Strategic environmental, social and economic considerations

• Policy objectives for key activities/sectors
   • Generally broad (only explicit target is for renewables)
   • No a priori prioritisation  to be done at plan level
Where and when
Boundaries
• Limit of tidal influence to ‘EEZ’
• Potentially very wide scope
  and variation in level of detail

Overall timetable
• Estimate 2 years for each plan
  (2.5 if ‘examination’ required)
• Assume two at a time
• Complete first cycle by 2021
• Evaluate ≤ 3 years  Review?

Reassessed recently, end
date unchanged but overlap
(lead in time)
East marine plan areas
                                                   58,700 km2
Timeline (two years)                     Inshore and Offshore
•   Dec 2010: Announce, prep         2 plans, 1 process (87%)
•   April 2011: Start
•   Feb 2012: Evidence & Issues
•   May: Draft Objectives/Vision
•   July: Options
•   Sept: draft plan to government
•   Jan 2013: consultation
•   April 2013: revised

Relentless  share ‘lead’ role;
more time to pause?

Developing whilst doing 
take longer the first time?
“Show me someone that’s never made a mistake and I’ll
show you someone that’s never made anything”
 a difficult message to get over and work around
Resource planning : Costs (and Benefits)
• ‘Impact Assessment’ of planning vs ‘do nothing’. Benefits:
   • Best estimate: £487 million [$779m] over twenty years
   • Environmental benefits difficult to quantify
   • Savings to business sectors, e.g. activity costs

• Costs
   • £2.7 million [$4.3m] per plan (all elements, e.g. Staff > evidence
     gathering > Sustainability Appraisal > consultation)
   • £0.54 million [$0.86m] per review (assumes 20% of original
     costs) every six years

• Resources : core funding from UK government

• Too early to judge but for now £ seems less limiting than time
• Demands may fluctuate over time but ‘same’ resource
Technical Evidence and analysis
• National: Strategic Scoping Report
   • The ‘big picture’ to set plan area in context
   • Includes analysis of potential future opportunities
   • Inform plan-level objectives (and priorities?)

• Research: Various gaps but timing a challenge
   •   Co-location
   •   Recreation interests: distribution
   •   Cumulative effects
   •   Socio-economic study: help to understand the impact of
       marine planning on different types of coastal community

• East inshore and East offshore data & information
   • Substantial data collation /presentation
Technical data collation and GIS analysis
• Building on existing projects, e.g.
  MCZs, SEA, CP2

• Working with organisations &
  data sharing where possible

• Local stakeholders input:
   • Data, verification
   • On-line marine planning portal

• GIS analysis (iterative, simplify)
   • Methods
   • Integration
Stakeholder engagement – plan areas




•• Local stakeholder engagement
   Statements of Public Participation (SPP)
   -- informs people of how and when they can become involved
       Individual interests and groups
   -- published April 2011
       Work with existing partnerships, links to other projects (eg MPAs)
   -- signed off by Government (Secretary of State, Defra)
       No formal bespoke structures or groups
   - Liaison officers + range of meetings, workshops, events
Participation and Consultation
• December 2011 workshops
   •   Three locations, ~150 participants
   •   Marine planning focus inc. ‘Key issues’
   •   Interactive, various ‘tasks’ inc. Futures
   •   90% positive feedback (84 returns)


• The process is as important as the
  product

• Different ways to communicate, e.g.
   • Drop in sessions
   • 3 D model
Getting to the point
• Evidence on Key activities, social,
  economic & environmental
  interests

• Emerging Issues
   • For sector delivery, other
     sectors, and sustainability
   • Several hundred

• Vision and Objectives report
   • 58 ‘headline issues’

• Distil further
   • Stakeholders to refine?
   • More evidence for some?
We have Not got all the answers to
everyone’s problems
Clarifying/Reassuring - Planning outputs/outcomes


                           Planning
                         Prescription 
                         & Decisions

                                         Change over time?


                         Planning
                    Signals & Guidance



                                                     Increase over time
                    Evidence Collation 
                        & Analysis
Some headline lessons learnt
•   Political commitment is critical
•   Legislative basis almost certainly essential
•   (Dedicated planning body) with a core team is essential
•   A framework of principles, goals/objective and policies is a
    good start, some prioritisation is even better
•   Need allocated resources preferably over a sustained period
•   Try to focus - on the key issues, prioritised evidence
•   Need a timetable but also some flexibility if possible
    particularly in the early days
•   Stakeholder engagement - different means, be creative
•   Do NOT underestimate the challenge, however good your
    planning it will probably take more time and more effort

Paul Gilliland Marine Planning in England What are we learning?

  • 1. International MSP Symposium 16th May 2012 Marine Planning in England What are we learning? Paul Gilliland Marine Planning Development Manager
  • 2. Outline • What and why • Legislation and high level policy • Where and when • Costs and resourcing • Evidence, analysis, research • Stakeholder engagement • Defining key issues • Outputs/outcomes • Challenges • Lessons
  • 3. Why do we need marine planning? Overarching driver – Increasing and competing use of marine space and resources, impacting on the sustainability of the marine environment
  • 4. Perceived benefits but also expectations • Sustainable use of marine resources • Greater certainty for investors/developers • Improved basis for addressing cumulative effects • ‘Regional seas’ governance (ecosystem approach) • Proactive and forward planning • Plan for new activities and changing technologies • Framework for consistent decision making • Cohesion with coastal and terrestrial plans (ICZM) • Early involvement of stakeholders (“democratic deficit”)
  • 5. Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 • Long lead in time and preparatory work • Supported by main political parties (commitment) • Complex piece of legislation – Licensing, Fisheries, Nature Conservation, Coastal Access, Marine planning  “be careful what you wish for” • Marine Management Organisation (April 2010) • Planning, licensing, fisheries, conservation delivery • Cross-government ‘agency’ (£) • Dedicated ‘core’ planning team (long haul) + in house support • Deliberately recruit from different backgrounds • New organisation!
  • 6. The legal requirement for marine planning • Aim: contribute to and help deliver sustainable development. • Integrated approach (important message) • across environmental, economic and social factors • across sectors (including interactions, policies) • with other plans (including terrestrial) • Marine Policy Statement (MPS): the overarching policy framework for the UK marine area (UK Govt and Devolved Administrations) • Marine Plans will translate the MPS into detailed policy and spatial guidance for each plan area (MMO, SoS) • All plan ‘areas’ (sub-divisions around the coast) • Guide and direct decision makers, including Licensing • No timetable prescribed but report/review every 3-6 years
  • 7. Marine Policy Statement • High level framework which should ensure consistency • 22 Goals (High Level Marine Objectives): • Achieving a sustainable marine economy • Ensuring a strong, healthy and just society • Living within environmental limits • Promoting good governance • Using sound science responsibly • Strategic environmental, social and economic considerations • Policy objectives for key activities/sectors • Generally broad (only explicit target is for renewables) • No a priori prioritisation  to be done at plan level
  • 8. Where and when Boundaries • Limit of tidal influence to ‘EEZ’ • Potentially very wide scope and variation in level of detail Overall timetable • Estimate 2 years for each plan (2.5 if ‘examination’ required) • Assume two at a time • Complete first cycle by 2021 • Evaluate ≤ 3 years  Review? Reassessed recently, end date unchanged but overlap (lead in time)
  • 9. East marine plan areas 58,700 km2 Timeline (two years) Inshore and Offshore • Dec 2010: Announce, prep 2 plans, 1 process (87%) • April 2011: Start • Feb 2012: Evidence & Issues • May: Draft Objectives/Vision • July: Options • Sept: draft plan to government • Jan 2013: consultation • April 2013: revised Relentless  share ‘lead’ role; more time to pause? Developing whilst doing  take longer the first time?
  • 10. “Show me someone that’s never made a mistake and I’ll show you someone that’s never made anything”  a difficult message to get over and work around
  • 11. Resource planning : Costs (and Benefits) • ‘Impact Assessment’ of planning vs ‘do nothing’. Benefits: • Best estimate: £487 million [$779m] over twenty years • Environmental benefits difficult to quantify • Savings to business sectors, e.g. activity costs • Costs • £2.7 million [$4.3m] per plan (all elements, e.g. Staff > evidence gathering > Sustainability Appraisal > consultation) • £0.54 million [$0.86m] per review (assumes 20% of original costs) every six years • Resources : core funding from UK government • Too early to judge but for now £ seems less limiting than time • Demands may fluctuate over time but ‘same’ resource
  • 12. Technical Evidence and analysis • National: Strategic Scoping Report • The ‘big picture’ to set plan area in context • Includes analysis of potential future opportunities • Inform plan-level objectives (and priorities?) • Research: Various gaps but timing a challenge • Co-location • Recreation interests: distribution • Cumulative effects • Socio-economic study: help to understand the impact of marine planning on different types of coastal community • East inshore and East offshore data & information • Substantial data collation /presentation
  • 13. Technical data collation and GIS analysis • Building on existing projects, e.g. MCZs, SEA, CP2 • Working with organisations & data sharing where possible • Local stakeholders input: • Data, verification • On-line marine planning portal • GIS analysis (iterative, simplify) • Methods • Integration
  • 14. Stakeholder engagement – plan areas •• Local stakeholder engagement Statements of Public Participation (SPP) -- informs people of how and when they can become involved Individual interests and groups -- published April 2011 Work with existing partnerships, links to other projects (eg MPAs) -- signed off by Government (Secretary of State, Defra) No formal bespoke structures or groups - Liaison officers + range of meetings, workshops, events
  • 15. Participation and Consultation • December 2011 workshops • Three locations, ~150 participants • Marine planning focus inc. ‘Key issues’ • Interactive, various ‘tasks’ inc. Futures • 90% positive feedback (84 returns) • The process is as important as the product • Different ways to communicate, e.g. • Drop in sessions • 3 D model
  • 16. Getting to the point • Evidence on Key activities, social, economic & environmental interests • Emerging Issues • For sector delivery, other sectors, and sustainability • Several hundred • Vision and Objectives report • 58 ‘headline issues’ • Distil further • Stakeholders to refine? • More evidence for some?
  • 17. We have Not got all the answers to everyone’s problems
  • 18. Clarifying/Reassuring - Planning outputs/outcomes Planning Prescription  & Decisions Change over time? Planning Signals & Guidance Increase over time Evidence Collation  & Analysis
  • 19. Some headline lessons learnt • Political commitment is critical • Legislative basis almost certainly essential • (Dedicated planning body) with a core team is essential • A framework of principles, goals/objective and policies is a good start, some prioritisation is even better • Need allocated resources preferably over a sustained period • Try to focus - on the key issues, prioritised evidence • Need a timetable but also some flexibility if possible particularly in the early days • Stakeholder engagement - different means, be creative • Do NOT underestimate the challenge, however good your planning it will probably take more time and more effort
