Paragraph 14 Dropped objectsI1

All dropped objects must be reported to the MMO using the Dropped Object Procedure Form as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within twenty four hours of the licence holder becoming aware of an incident. On receipt of the Dropped Object Procedure Form, the MMO may require relevant surveys to be carried out by the licence holder (such as side scan sonar), and the MMO may require obstructions to be removed from the seabed at the licence holder's expense, if it is reasonable to do so.
