MMO was created in 2010 by the Marine and Coastal Access Act, and has many achievements to be proud of. We will build on these past ten years as we enter a new decade with a fresh, bold vision for the future prosperity of our seas, coasts and communities. Driven by government’s aim for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas, MMO’s purpose is to protect and enhance our precious marine environment, and support UK economic growth by enabling sustainable marine activities and development. MMO manages 230,000 square kilometres of hugely diverse seas, almost double that of England’s land mass. Our seas are among the busiest in the world. We don’t always appreciate the extensive benefits we draw from them, whether for leisure, transport, commerce, fisheries, construction, energy and communications. And critically, our seas provide significant environmental benefits.
The Marine Management Organisation delivers professional, expert, valued services and support for our marine environment and for those who use it. We are committed to being a top place to work – focussed on colleague engagement and respect; shared values; personal wellbeing; individual and collective diversity; and professional personal development.

Dealing with marine pollution emergencies, including oil spills. Helping to prevent illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing.
