ABPmer has been providing marine scientific advice to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) for over a decade. Our team of marine ecologists and coastal process specialists have been supporting the discharge of marine licence conditions and Development Consent Order requirements of the Hinkley Point C nuclear new build development.

Under three advisory contracts we have completed numerous reviews of supporting documentation focusing on aspects of coastal ecology and biodiversity, coastal physical characteristics and processes, and marine ornithology. 

Under the initial contract our services ranged from Evidence Checks on EIAs through to providing advice on the economic methodologies for the associated Impact Assessment and EIA in-house training.

With the focus now on discharging licence conditions, we provide an ongoing review and advisory role on coastal processes and marine ecology, including fish deterrent and entrapment, associated with the detailed design, construction and operation of the facility.

ABPmer’s planning and consents specialists regularly prepare environmental statements and support developers through the minefield of marine consents.
