SUDG industries contribute a significant amount of socio-economic value to the UK economy which should not be overlooked when making critical decisions regarding the use and management of the marine environment and seabed, given the importance of marine industries for energy generation and transmission, global communications, international trade and commerce, and recreation. Since many of these activities are focused in coastal communities they also provide important income and jobs for those living in these areas.
The SUDG commisisoned a report to quantify the contirbutions of SUDG marine industries to the UK ecomonmy and the analysis showed that SUDG industries generate between £150 billion and £180 billion in turnover, with a contribution of between £65 billion and £69 billion in overall economic value (GVA), supporting approximately 580,000[1] to 1 million jobs.

The SUDG and its member industries work closely with regulators and conservation advisers, and there are many examples of good regulatory practice. Nevertheless, opportunities remain for quicker, more proportionate regulation focusing on the most significant environmental impacts of development and making more use of accepted standards and evidence.
The SUDG is seeking views from industry, regulators and conservation bodies, on the operation of current regulatory systems – what works effectively? what priority issues need to be addressed?Â
We are particularly interested in evidence from examples which could act as case studies for the views expressed.
