Strategy for marine monitoring
Marine Assessment Policy Committee (MAPC)
At the top of the UKMMAS structure is the MAPC who own the strategy and are responsible for the policy measures needed to achieve the evolving marine objectives (MOs).
The main function of MAPC is to define the policy requirements for the UK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Programme (UKMMAP) and provide direction on these matters to the Marine Assessment and Reporting Group (MARG). The committee endorses the monitoring proposals put forward by MARG and ensures appropriate resources are available. The committee also maintains a dialogue with the MARG on any changes in either national statutory requirements or EU and other international treaty obligations and the potential implications of any such changes for the future of the monitoring programme.
