Does the Minister have plans to set up a national marine development plan?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 17/10/2023
In March, I published a Written Statement setting out my priorities for taking forward marine planning. My officials are working with stakeholders to implement spatial direction through the Welsh National Marine Plan. My officials are also working with The Crown Estate to understand how a Whole of Seabed approach to mapping opportunities for future sector use and nature recovery can best support marine planning for Wales.
