From the Seabed User & Developer Group (SUDG):
The SUDG and its member industries work closely with regulators and conservation advisers, and there are many examples of good regulatory practice. Nevertheless, opportunities remain for quicker, more proportionate regulation focusing on the most significant environmental impacts of development and making more use of accepted standards and evidence.
The SUDG is seeking views from industry, regulators and conservation bodies, on the operation of current regulatory systems – what works effectively? what priority issues need to be addressed?
We are particularly interested in evidence from examples which could act as case studies for the views expressed.
The questionnaire can be found here.
