from a wide science base that includes project-specific surveys and previous previously acquired knowledge of the benthic ecology within the North Sea.


312. These effects not only have the potential to directly impact the benthic ecology receptors but may also manifest as sources for impacts upon receptors other than those considered within the context of benthic. The assessments of significance of these impacts on other receptors are provided in the chapters listed in Table 10.19. In addition, the table shows where other chapters have been used to inform the benthic ecology assessment.
