AbstractThe Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has published research undertaken by the UK environmental economics consultancy, eftec and marine consultancy ABPmer into how the MMO can improve the implementation of the ecosystem approach in marine planning. In undertaking marine planning, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is required by the Marine Policy Statement to use the ecosystem approach, in particular to ensure that human pressures are kept within levels compatible with the achievement of environmental objectives. The published report proposes a framework for improving the use of the ecosystem approach which is intended to help prepare marine plans, and aims to integrate ecosystem approach principles with the MMO’s marine planning process.
