Response to Defra's consultation on secondary legislation for new marine licensing systems

Summary

This is a response to the Consultation on secondary legislation for new marine licensing systems that was carried out by Defra's Marine Licensing Team. Seafish is concerned that new administrative burdens might be imposed upon small aquaculture businesses as a result of amendments to existing consents. These burdens must be avoided or minimised.
