Daniel Brutto of MESL attended a conference on Marine Spatial Planning which is to be held in Portland, Weymouth in October. The development of a marine planning system is one of the central aspects of the forthcoming Marine Bill and keeping track of these changes to regulatory processes is of the utmost importance to consultancies such as ours. Attending conferences such as this, and the Defra marine licensing workshop which we recently attended, will ensure that we have the best understanding possible of the wide-reaching changes that will affect our industry, this will help to ensure that we retain our ability to offer the our clients the highest levels of service and advice.
