Standardised list of human activities in the marine environment

Description

This table is a list of human activities associated with the marine environment and their descriptions. This list was created after a review of previous attempts to link human activities to marine pressures so that a standardised UK pressure-activities matrix could be constructed in which pressure-activities links are identified. This is an agreed list and definitions of human activities in the marine environment. Coastal and marine ecosystems have historically been subjected to a number of human-induced pressures associated with a variety of marine activities and developments. The mechanisms through which specific human activities impact the marine environment, however, are still poorly understood. Additional information source: http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-7136
