Specialist marine dredging advice for the British Marine Federation, UK
2 January 2008
In addition to providing dredging advice to individual members the commission includes representing the Federation on a working group of industry and regulators engaged on developing a new Maintenance Dredging Protocol that will enable the current consenting regime to deal with maintenance dredging consents under the European Habitats Directive.
Advice to the BMF also extends to other areas of consenting within the marine environment which includes work on the ongoing review of FEPA fees, the Water Framework Directive and the preparation of a Marine Bill by the UK Government.
