Accumulation of pressures that can cause physical damage by selective physical extraction in the South Atlantic Demarcation (EM SUD PRE Physical Extraction)

Taking into account the spatial distribution of sand extraction areas, potentially dredgeable port areas and hydrocarbon exploitation permits in the Demarcation, areas with potential impact by physical selective extraction have been identified. The percentage of area affected by any of the activities described has been calculated for each mesh cell.
The ranges of values established in the mesh have been:
Very High: Greater 50 % / High: 30 to 50 % / Average: 10 to 30% / Low: 2,5 to 10 % / Very Low: less 2.5%
