Ms Laura Brien:

I concur. It is an area in which more central co-ordination will bring significant added value across a range of stakeholders who use the maritime space. How this first DMAP process works out will be interesting. I hope we will learn a lot from it, such as what data was required, useful and generally available, for the next DMAP process. For example, we are now looking at the west coast because that is the next area where key resources are available for offshore renewable. We can learn from the DMAP on the south coast about data collection, what is available and best practice. We see MARA playing a role in that. We are not yet active in that space. It is early days but it is an area in which we will see that open access to data is key to derisk projects and better inform all stakeholders interested in what is happening in the maritime area.
