Automation of the Extent of Physical Damage to Predominant and Special Habitats marine biodiversity indicator

Marine biodiversity assessments are used to inform us about the status of marine ecosystems. In some cases, where in-the-field data has not been collected, or is limited, assessments use a methodological approach which considers where human activities occur within the marine environment and what habitats and species are found there. This allows us to identify the area of activity which coincides with the different habitats and species. How sensitive each marine habitat and species is to the activity in question is then determined. The exposure of the habitat or species to the activities is combined with the sensitivity of the habitat or species to generate the likelihood of impact. This info…
