The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) tries to maintain The Blue Book with up-to-date legislation but cannot guarantee that it is up to date at all times. The legislation and documents may have been updated since the links above were published. The Blue Book does not contain comprehensive UK legislation applicable to Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish waters.

Legislation in the blue book is not currently available in consolidated versions. To check current wording, you will need to cross reference the legislation you are reviewing with any amendments made by other Statutory Instruments or Acts. If a piece of legislation is known to have been amended links have been included to the amending Statutory Instrument or Act.
