The National Marine Planning Framework Baseline Report sets out:

- an initial elaboration of potential high level objectives for Ireland’s first National Marine Planning Framework; and
- a number of consultation questions or issues intended to prompt discussion and consideration amongst stakeholders. Responses to these questions will be a crucial input to the draft plan.
