economic resource. Awareness of the importance of the medieval and post- medieval ship building industry for the area provides an important sense of historical identity. Shipping Industry forms part of the primary character of both the East Anglia THREE site and the northernmost extent of offshore cable corridor (in the form of commercial shipping routes). Further information on this is presented in Chapter 15 Shipping and Navigation.
122. Fishing: Commercial fishing has long been important to the region and the industry remains a distinctive element of the East Anglian coastal character. Fishing forms part of the primary character of both the East Anglia THREE site and the central and shoreward extent of offshore cable corridor. Fishing in the East Anglia THREE site is summarised as comprising fishing grounds associated with longlining. Conversely, fishing activities within offshore cable corridor include drift netting, pelagic trawling, potting, longlining, demersal trawling and fishing grounds. Further information on this is presented in Chapter 14 Commercial Fisheries.
123. Recreation: Recreation is crucial to the coastal region in East Anglia, particularly from an economic perspective. Recreation comprises a character type observed within the shoreward extent of offshore cable corridor, and comprises recreational sailing and recreational fishing. Further information on this is presented in Chapter 15 Shipping and Navigation.
124. The results of the Newport to Clacton HSC (Oxford Archaeology 2011) thus suggest that the primary historic character value of the East Anglia THREE site could be summarised as being associated with fishing, navigation activity and the shipping industry, with previous character sub-types associated with palaeolandscapes and WWII defences.
125. The HSC project (Oxford Archaeology 2011) suggests that the primary historic character value of offshore cable corridor could be summarised as being associated with fishing, navigation activity, navigation hazard, maritime safety, shipping industry and recreation, with previous character sub-types associated with palaeolandscapes, palaeochannels, naval battlefields and WWII defences.
17.5.5 Archaeological Receptor Value 126. There are 35 palaeogeographic receptors of probable archaeological interest (P1) and a further 127 receptors of possible archaeological interest (P2) within the Study Area. The value of these features in archaeological, palaeogeographical and palaeoenvironmental terms is difficult to define without specific geoarchaeological assessment; in general, the value for prehistoric receptors is outlined in Table 17.22.
