The Green Party in the United Kingdom is a democratic organisation in which their members from all walks of life and not only professional politicians, decide on policy. The policy process produces an organic and evolving document known as ‘Policies for a Sustainable Society or PSS, that reflects the party’s current priorities and principles. This policy document is concerned with activities, processes, research and management affecting a range of “marine areas”. As well as oceans and seas these areas could include estuaries, fjords, sea lochs, bays, lagoons, inlets and other salt-water environments.
