Welcome
The Marine Planning Portal is an interactive mapping tool that allows you to contribute to the marine planning process in 2 ways:
1. Comment on the draft policies for the East Inshore and Offshore Marine Plans (available June 2013)
Click on the 'view' tab to view the draft policies for the east marine plans. You can then use the 'comment' tab to comment on a particular area to which a policy applies.
2. Comment on our evidence base
Use the interactive map to view and comment on the marine planning evidence base (currently being used to plan for the South Inshore and Offshore Plan Areas). This will include both data owned by third parties and draft data layers produced by the MMO. We welcome suggestions of existing new data to help strengthen our evidence base.
Use the 
icon next to the data layer to view further information on the data, including its owner, origin and the date it was uploaded to the portal. As new datasets are developed or acquired by the MMO they will be uploaded to the portal as soon as possible (where the MMO is authorised to do so).
Please note that users must be logged in to make a comment.
