JNCC is a UK-based environmental services organization that uses scientific expertise to provide evidence, advice, coordination, and standards to help the government and devolved administrations meet natural environment priorities. It collaborates with country nature conservation bodies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as with UK government bodies and non-governmental organisations, to share learning and develop common standards. The organization produces high-quality evidence on the status of biodiversity and ecosystem services in marine and terrestrial environments, and on the pressures and activities that affect them, to support decision-making by governments, environmental bodies, developers and regulators. It is responsible for advising on nature conservation in offshore waters beyond 12 nautical miles and works to establish an ecologically coherent network of well-managed marine protected areas. Based in Peterborough in the East of England, it is a mid-sized organization that emphasizes partnerships and joint work to meet the needs of a devolved UK.
