Crynodeb
Short Summary:
JNCC’s Marine Management Team works towards integrating nature into decisions by providing evidence-based advice on the impacts of activities affecting the marine environment.
The advisory functions of the team are centred on helping government, regulators and developers meet the requirements of managing and therefore minimising impacts of human activities in the marine environment. Most of the team’s work focuses on advising on impacts of offshore oil and gas, renewable energy, aggregate extraction, subsea cabling and fisheries, as well as new and emerging industry sectors such as and carbon capture and storage.
We also engage with critical policy areas such as climate change, nature recovery and net gain, and work to identify and address knowledge gaps in providing this conservation advice through research, engagement, and coordination of the UK delegated authorities. This is a critical role that contributes to the Governments dual ambition of halting biodiversity loss and combatting climate change.
