Marine and Coastal Access Bill [HL]

Clause 125(1) makes clear that: ""The MMO may make one or more byelaws for the purpose of furthering the conservation objectives stated for an MCZ in England"." It is for Welsh Ministers to make by-laws in Wales. Scotland is not covered under these provisions because they deal with inshore waters, which is a devolved matter. Therefore it is a matter entirely for Scotland in that respect. By-laws can be made alongside the creation of MCZs, but, equally, further by-laws can be made in the light of experience. Issues around disturbance might be anticipated or they might be made in the light of experience, so there is sufficient flexibility.
