Protecting our Marine Historic Environment – Making the System Work Better Analysis of Responses July 2005
This document is an analysis of responses to last year's public consultation on the future of the marine historic environment.
In March 2004, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the Scottish Executive (SE), the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) and the Department of the Environment Northern Ireland (DoENI) published Protecting our Marine Historic Environment: Making the System Work Better, a public consultation on the future of the marine historic environment.
The proposals in the consultation paper sought to provide:
- a positive approach to managing the marine historic environment, which will be transparent, inclusive, effective and sustainable and central to social, environmental and economic agendas at a local as well as national level; and
- a legislative framework that protects the marine historic environment but enables appropriate management approaches to be applied and to evolve.
The consultation on the marine historic environment was intended to complement the heritage protection reviews undertaken in England and Wales.
DCMS and its partners are now taking forward the proposals in this document.
