Division 7.9.1

The MMO will undertake intelligence led, risk based enforcement approach as adopted by a number of regulatory bodies across government in accordance with the National Intelligence Model^f1. Where intelligence suggests non compliance or a risk of non compliance the MMO will develop an enforcement strategy specific to the needs of the MPA and where necessary deploy resources accordingly. This may include a Navy presence, aerial surveillance or joint operations with other agencies (for example the IFCAs, UK Border force or EA). The MMO would coordinate any joint operations. The principals by which the MMO will regulate MPAs are set out by the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006 and the Regulators' Compliance Code and aim to ensure that the MMO is proportionate, accountable, consistent, transparent and targeted in any enforcement action it takes^f2.
