Section 113 of the 2009 Act contains provisions determining which authority is the appropriate licensing authority for an area in which licensable marine activities may take place. Under section 98 of the 2009 Act, the appropriate licensing authority may, by order, delegate any of its delegable marine licensing functions (as defined in section 98(5)) to such other person as is designated in the order. Under section 14(1) of the 2009 Act, the Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with the Marine Management Organisation authorising it to perform any marine function of the Secretary of State in relation to the UK marine area (or specified parts of that area). By virtue of section 14(6), the provision in section 14(1) of the 2009 Act is subject to sections 17 and 18 of that Act, which make provision in relation to non-delegable functions and the maximum duration of such an agreement, respectively.
Section 66(1) of the 2009 Act describes the activities which are licensable marine activities for the purposes of Part 4 of that Act.
