Marine pen fish farming: Charging changes
Annex 1.5: New SEPA staff resource required
Almost all SEPA allocated tasks in the 3 monitoring strands are new and are not covered by existing charges. The exceptions are generating and reporting WFD assessments, surveillance monitoring in non-aquaculture areas, specific modelling development work and part of the auditing role.

These new tasks are significant and cannot be absorbed within current staff resources. They will require new posts to be created which will reflect the range of technical complexity required. |
