Marine Aggregate Market Appetite Questionnaire – 23 October 2026 

The Crown Estate is inviting organisations to share information on their anticipated need for seabed rights for marine aggregate extraction in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. 

 We are interested in understanding: 

·       The types of marine aggregate resources required; 

·       Where resources are needed; 

·       Their intended use; and 

·       The business and investment needs underpinning future activity 

The information provided will help inform our understanding of future market requirements and potential licensing opportunities. 

 Interested organisations are invited to complete the Marine Aggregate Market Appetite Questionnaire. 

 Please submit one response per organisation. 

 The questionnaire will remain open until close of business on 9 November. 

 Thank you for your engagement and support.
