WHO IS INVOLVED?
Each management scheme is prepared by a group of authorities having statutory powers over the marine area (i.e. the relevant authorities). Relevant authorities are those who are already involved in some form of relevant marine regulatory function and would therefore be directly involved in the management of a marine site. There is also an Advisory Group, comprising non Relevant Authorities, that gives advice to ASERA to enable the management scheme to take account of users’ views as fully as possible and develop wide support for the scheme.
