Marine Pressures-Activities Database (PAD) v1.1
Description
Note: a newer version of this database (v1.2, 2018) is available.
Coastal and marine ecosystems are subject to a number of human-induced pressures associated with a variety of marine activities. As such it is important to understand the links between human activities and pressures and the evidence behind such links.
In 2013 JNCC compiled an activities-pressures matrix which identified 39 human use activity categories and 34 human pressure types. In 2015, Defra commissioned a project, led by ABPmer, to develop the evidence base for understanding the relationships between these human activities and pressures within the marine environment.
A database has been created to record the outputs of the literature review, including the collated evidence for links between the human activities and sub-activities and the relevant pressures. This database has been released in MS Access format and as a collection of tables in an Excel workbook.
For more information about the Matrix see the information on JNCC's website:
