Data have been collated for the territorial waters of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales and UK offshore waters.Objective 1: To collate geodata on human activities in the marine environment and provide these data in a format which can be used for stakeholder engagement purposes. These geodata comprise information on the distribution and frequency of major activities associated with industries operating in the UK marine environment and include oil and gas, windfarms, cables, mineral dredging, port/harbour locations, disposal sites, offshore fishing activity, seabed obstructions and closed areas. Additional work carried out by ABP-Mer has provided data describing inshore shell-fishery activity, renewable energy resources, mariculture sites, anthropological and archaeological sites. Objective 2: To generate pressure layers indicating the distribution and intensity of the pressures associated with human activity with an associated confidence rating. These data will be used to support the MPA selection process to identify areas where socio-economic activities interact with conservation features and will be overlain/combined with habitat distribution and sensitivity information.
