Summary Table

Activity
Oil and Gas

Value increased despite decline in production. No change in most activities, recent increase in appraisal drilling. Small localised footprint from structures. Operational long term and year round
Maritime Transport

Overall little change in imports and exports. Widespread pressure footprint. Occurs long term and year round
Telecom Cables

Capacity has increased, several international projects. Small localised footprint from cables that are present long term and operational year round
Leisure and Recreation

Increased participation rates likely in some activities. Widespread pressure footprint. Pressures are seasonal but present long term
Defence – Military

Large zone of potential activity that is likely to be localised. Unknown temporal nature. Expenditure is stable so assume that extent of activity is as well
Fisheries

Large and widespread extent of disturbance. Long term pressures mostly occurring year round
Aquaculture

Increases in some stocks since 2003. Localised spatial pressures, farms present longterm but seasonal in operation. Few data on spatial extent of pressures
Water Abstraction

Little change in the amount abstracted. Small localised footprint of disturbance. Operational long term and year round
Mineral Extraction

No change in production overall although tonnage has fluctuated. Small localised footprint of disturbance. Seasonal and medium term in time
Renewable Energy

Large increases in investment and consequent production of energy. Small localised footprint from structures. Operational long term and year round
Coastal Defence

Investment has doubled over the past 10 years in east of England. Large and widespread extent of disturbance. Structures are more or less permanent
Waste Disposal

The amount of material disposed of relatively constant. Small localised footprint of disturbance. Wastewater disposal is operational long term and year round
Education

Value calculated from a range of years therefore low confidence in estimate. Participation varies among subject areas but likely to be no overall change
R & D

Centralised investment. R&D likely to have increased in the offshore region
Power Transmission

Not possible to establish monetary value. No temporal data, deployment rates likely to have been stable
Storage of Gases

Not possible to establish current monetary value. Significant increase in investments. No new development since 2003 but surveys (e.g. seismic) likely to have increased
