The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to engender effective co-operation and understanding between the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Environment Agency (the EA) (the participants) in dealing with issues of compliance with statutory environmental protection requirements and cooperation relating to flood defences. It is also to engender collaboration on matters of mutual interests that are wider than statutory environmental protection such as sustainability, including net zero, climate change adaptation and emergency preparedness and response.
