marine pollution and search and rescue (Maritime Coastguard Agency),
water quality, fisheries and coastal flooding (Environment Agency and Dept
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), environmental impact
assessments and offshore wind farms (Dept for Trade and Industry), and
representatives of the oil industry.
Together it is hoped that these initiatives will consolidate the UK
contribution to operational oceanography, strengthening the scientific input
into it, the coordination and collaboration with European colleagues, and
enabling it to evolve to meet the UK needs for environmental management.
