Report number: R457. IACMST information Document: 10. This report details the work carried out by IACMST on a review of the marine related activities and the UK economy. The report includes those activities which involve working on or in the sea. Also those activities that are involved in the production of goods or the provision of services that will themselves directly contribute to activities on or in the sea.

For 1999- 2000, the contribution is estimated at £39bn, or 4.9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 1994-95 the estimated contribution was £27.8bn, 4.8% of GDP. Excluding tourism the 1999-2000 figure is 3.4%. The overall conclusion is a confirmation of the importance of marine activities to the UK economy. The same techniques and categories of marine-related activity were used as in the previous survey. For some sectors which are officially reflected in National Statistics, it is possible to identify trends. Generally, between the two surveys, the changes in the total contribution to GDP are probably due to different measures of assessment in some of the less well-defined sectors. Because this assessment is intended to be an interim update, perhaps in anticipation of a full revision after ten years, some of the smaller sectors were not revisited. Nor was survey of industry research priorities and expectations which was included in the 1994-95 survey. However, the survey of university departments, many of which have undergone substantial changes in the interim period was repeated.
