Based in Newcastle in the North East of England, the MMO operates as a government administration with a workforce in the hundreds. It develops marine plans that cover all activities in the marine environment, including those outside its direct regulation, and it responds to marine pollution emergencies such as oil spills. It also works to prevent illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing worldwide and provides updates through GOV.UK and its official social channels.
