The nuclear regulators worked with Sciencewise to understand how the public want to be engaged and consulted about new nuclear power station designs.
The regulators have worked together to produce infographics about regulation of the nuclear industry.
These infographics are intended to help communities and the public living near nuclear sites learn more about their work.
These 12 scientific reviews provide the background for the Caribbean Marine Climate Change Report Card 2017, one of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme’s specific outputs from its first year. The Caribbean Marine Climate Change Report Card 2017 is a regional evaluation of the impact of climate change on the marine environment in the Caribbean, which will provide vital evidence for further analysis of the resulting socio-economic issues.
The scientific reviews cover the following topics:

This report reviews the progress made from 2 April 2014 to 1 April 2017 towards achieving the objectives set out in the East Inshore and Offshore Marine Plans. It also reviews the progress made against the high level marine objectives set out in the overall UK Marine Policy Statement.
Marine planning is the approach to managing the seas around England introduced by the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. There are 11 marine plan areas in the UK. Marine plans are intended to inform and guide marine users and regulators, managing the sustainable development of marine industries, such as wind farms and fishing, alongside the need to conserve and protect marine species and habitats. Marine plans contribute to the UK objective of having clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas.
The East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plans were published in April 2014. The inshore area has a coastline that stretches from Flamborough Head in Yorkshire to Felixstowe town in Suffolk. The offshore area covers from 12 nautical miles out to maritime borders with the Netherlands, Belgium and France. They are monitored and reviewed every three years.
