The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is an executive non-departmental public body in the United Kingdom established under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. The MMO exists to make a significant contribution to sustainable development in the marine area, and to promote the UK government’s vision for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas.
The MMO aims to focus all of its activities and resources to meet its mission of enabling sustainable growth in the UK's marine area through 5 strategic outcomes:
1. Marine businesses support sustainable growth in the UK economy
2. The marine environment is protected for current and future generations
3. Coastal communities are thriving and engaged
4. Our decisions are trusted
5. Be a highly effective public body
Roles and responsibilities
The MMO is independent of government as an non-departmental public body (NDPB). Its powers enable it to set up a marine planning system and a marine licensing regime, manage UK fishing fleet capacity and UK fisheries quotas, work with Natural England and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) to create and manage a network of marine protected areas (Marine Conservation Zones and European marine sites) designed to preserve vulnerable habitats and species in UK marine waters, respond to marine emergencies alongside other agencies, and develop an internationally recognised centre of excellence for marine information that supports its decision-making process.
An app that can be used on a smartphone, tablet or computer to help fishermen record their catches. The app has been developed with the help of individual fishermen at ports across the UK.
We will be posting updates about catch recording requirements as well as other changes in the fishing industry on the MMO’s website:
