The Scottish Government is launching two new marine consultations this week.
The consultation on the marine licensing regime under the Marine (Scotland) Act and the UK Marine and Coastal Access Act starts today and will end on 1st December. The consultation is seeking views on the new marine licensing regime which the Government wants to create through secondary legislation or existing provisions within the Acts.
A second consultation on changes to the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) Order 2010 will run for the same period. The consultation covers proposals to amend the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) Order 2010, including the introduction of phasing for offshore wind projects, sustainability criteria for biomass and bioliquids, changes which would allow wave and tidal projects in Scottish waters to receive grant plus enhanced ROCs and questions around the introduction of grandfathering for biomass and other types of station.
Details of both consultations can be viewed at: http://scotland.gov.uk/Consultations/Current
