Chris Parry, chair of the new Marine Management Organisation
Matthew Green, project manager of the Ormonde offshore wind farm
Rosie Mathisen, Energy Opportunities Director, Britain’s Energy Coast West Cumbria
Richard Tracey, Head of Environmental Quality at the North West Regional Development Agency.

Time: 10am – 4pm
Location: Lancaster House Hotel, near Lancaster 

 
Northern Ireland visit
Staff from the Irish Sea Conservation Zones project will spend three days in Northern Ireland later this month to explain how the project is working and how local fishermen can get involved.
 
They will be in Portavogie on May 26th- 27th and Ardglass on May 28th to coincide with high tide.
 
The visit has been arranged with the help of the Northern Irish Fish Producers Organisation.
