Publisher's Synopsis
Assessing the likely effects of altering the seafloor profile is becoming increasingly important when considering the installation of pipelines, building structures and dredging for marine sand or gravel. Government, local authorities, environmental bodies and others all require more accurate means of predicting the consequences of seabed sediment removal on the coastline, fisheries, marine biology and marine archaeology.;This publication is illustrated with colour and black and white maps and diagrams, and describes the seabed and coastal geology of the area, as well as the waves and tidal processes. It accompanies C505: Regional seabed sediment studies and assessment of marine aggregate dredging.
