Strategic Environmental Assessments

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is the process of appraisal through which environmental protection and sustainable development may be considered, and factored into national and local decisions regarding Government (and other) plans and programmes such as oil and gas licensing rounds. The process aims to help inform Ministerial decisions through consideration of the environmental implications of the proposed action. For more information see the DTI's Offshore SEA website.

The RYA has carried out two SEA's for the DTI.

SEA 6 covered the Irish Sea and SEA 8 Milford Haven to Dover.

The reports are available for download. Please note they are large files (2MB each).
