The report includes recommendations on the potential interventions a developer could use, as inspiration for their future Net Gain projects. With the continued decline in marine biodiversity in the UK’s waters, there has been an increasing recognition for the importance of greater restoration action to the marine environment. To deliver the British Energy Security Strategy and meet the UK’s ambitious targets for net zero, the numbers of marine developments are likely to significantly increase in the coming years, particularly in relation to offshore wind. Defra’s 25 Year Environment Plan commits to putting the marine environment in recovery, and it is vital that nature recovery is embedded within development at sea. An important tool to meeting UK energy targets and delivering ocean recovery is the implementation of Marine Net Gain in policy. The UK Government intends to make Marine Net Gain a mandatory requirement for all new developments in English waters below the mean low water mark. It is an exciting and emerging area of marine policy. Net gain is an approach to development that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than beforehand. This means protecting, restoring, or creating environmental features that are of greater ecological value to wildlife, habitats and people than any losses associated with the original project (Defra, 2022). The requirements for Marine Net Gain are still being decided. Once published, there will be no limitations on public access.

Participants within the structured conversations were asked four questions relating to marine net gain, and answers were anonymised. We interviewed representatives from five different organisations with interests in the marine environment, including industry bodies, consultancies, statutory bodies, and environmental non-governmental organisations (eNGOs). These responses were used to guide the design of our MNG pipeline, to make the pipeline representative of the sector’s wants and needs. Some responses contained more than one individual’s comments, which is represented by multiple icons to the side of a response. Figures include MaRePo report maps (Natural England) which were generated using restoration potential modelling and the use of wave/salinity data etc. The Crown Estate Marine Data Advisor +44 020 7851 5000 enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk pointOfContact EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry 2022-11-29 revision WGS 84
