Under Section 61 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act dein plan for authorities which is that Welsh ministers in Wales must to keep under review a report on at least every three years the effects of policies in their plan and the effectiveness at securing the plan objectives. Section 54, the act places duty on marine planning authorities to keep relevant matters under review, including amongst other things the physical, environmental, social-cultural and economic characteristics of the authority's region and the living resources which the region supports. The Act also requires planning authorities to consider the need to amend the plan every six years from a state of introduction. In addition, the strategic environmental assessment directive requires Welsh Government to monitor the significant effects of the implementation of the marine plan, including unforeseen adverse environmental effects. Welsh Government have undertaken a joint sustainability appraisal, a strategic environmental assessment process for the Welsh National Marine Plan and produced a sustainability appraisal report that integrates the requirements of the 2004 regulations including recommendations for monitoring indicators. So why monitor and report on a plan like this? Monitoring and review will allow Welsh Government to determine the impact and effectiveness of the plan and ensure it still fits the purpose. It provides crucial feedback within the cyclical process of sustainable evidence-based policymaking and connects the objectives of the plan to the evidence-based and subsequent implementation of plan policies. Any future plan review and policy development should be underpinned by the findings of monitoring. Monitoring and reporting will help us understand the marine plan's contribution to meeting the high-level marine objectives in the UK marine policy statement, progress being made towards securing plan objectives, the effects of the policies in the marine plan and the effectiveness of plan policies in securing the plan objectives. In January 2020, we published a monitoring and reporting framework for the Welsh National Marine Plan. The document outlines the approach that Welsh Government, a partnership with key decision makers and other stakeholders for the Welsh Marine Plan area, will follow to develop indicators for monitoring the plan. We are now working in collaboration with relevant decision makers and wider stakeholders to develop and publish a full suite of indicators by late 2020. The diagram on screen is taken from the framework and sets up the steps leading to the publication of the first monitoring report in 2022. The continuous improvement cycle refers to how feedback from the first monitoring report will inform future monitoring in terms of suitability of indicators, sources of information and assessment methodology, as well as the review of the Welsh National Marine Plan itself. The approach to monitoring and reporting will integrate requirements across legislative drivers, incorporating marine plan decision-making monitoring, identification and monitoring of indicators that will assess the effectiveness of the marine plan as an enabler in the achievement of its objectives, objective policy monitoring, assessing the real world outcomes effects to which policies under a number of objectives contribute, sustainability monitoring, related to the sustainability appraiser report and integrated strategic environmental process, assessing where the planned policies are having a positive and negative effect on sustainability. The monitoring framework will be underpinned by the following principles which have been adapted from the Welsh Government Local Development Plan manual. A focus on what needs monitoring where significant effects are likely and clarity about what sort of information is required. However, consideration should also be given to the complexity of multiple influences. Outcomes are really a result solely of development plan policies. The use of existing information in order to avoid unnecessary duplication with other monitoring mechanisms, although reliance on existing data sources may mean that some indicators can no longer be monitored or may need to be amended to correspond to updated methods of data collection. Establishing where possible targets indicate as a trigger points to promptly assess whether policies are achieving their stated objectives and ensure that emphasis is not just on data collection but interpreting and building on previous results to inform policy review or targeted response when necessary. Choice of suitable timeskates is important as many aspects of planning may not be capable of assessment until patterns emerge in the second or third review period. In developing the monitoring reporting framework, Welsh Government has considered the approaches of the reviews of UK marine plans that have been published to date as well as more recent advice commissioned by the marine management organisation, engaged with key decision makers and other stakeholders through the marine planning stakeholder reference group, a public consultation on the draft Welsh National Marine Plan as its availability appraisal, sought advice on identification of indicators to inform development of the monitoring and reporting framework and drawn on existing guidance for the terrestrial planning system in Wales. We have been working with a subgroup made up of our main stakeholder groups to develop a full set of Welsh National Marine Plan indicators and supporting baseline and monitoring information. We commissioned an independent report to help us to develop the indicators and intend to evaluate the outcomes of the report through this subgroup. The proposed indicators will be divided into three categories, those to focus on and develop in the short term, indicators which you want to develop through collaboration with policy leaders, stakeholders and decision makers and indicators which are longer to your ambition. This group will be meeting virtually throughout 2020 to finalise a set of indicators and will be discussed with relevant public authorities at the Marine Planning Decision Makers Group. That concludes the presentation on monitoring and reporting on the marine plan. You can view further presentations on marine planning for Wales, including in relation to resource series and strategic resource series, the marine planning portal, plan implementation and an overview of marine planning. And finally, this slide provides you with a high level overview of available resources to help you understand and apply the plan, as well as contact details for the team.
