baseline conditions presented in detail in Appendix 7.2, which is also summarised in section 7.5.


Table 7.11 Definitions of the Different Sensitivity Levels for aMorphological Receptor Sensitivity


Definition High


Tolerance: Receptor has very limited tolerance of effect. Adaptability: Receptor unable to adapt to effect.


Recoverability: Receptor unable to recover resulting in permanent or long- term (>10 years) change.


Medium


Tolerance: Receptor has limited tolerance of effect Adaptability: Receptor has limited ability to adapt to effect.


Recoverability: Receptor able to recover to an acceptable status over the medium term (5-10 years).


Low


Tolerance: Receptor has some tolerance of effect. Adaptability: Receptor has some ability to adapt to effect.


Recoverability: Receptor able to recover to an acceptable status over the short term (1-5 years).


Negligible Tolerance: Receptor generally tolerant of effect.


Adaptability: Receptor can completely adapt to effect with no detectable changes.


Recoverability: Receptor able to recover to an acceptable status near instantaneously (<1 year).


Table 7.12 Definitions of the Different Value Levels for aMorphological Receptor Value


Definition High


Value: Receptor is designated and/or of national or international importance for marine geology, oceanography or physical processes. Likely to be rare with minimal potential for substitution. May also be of significant wider-scale, functional or strategic importance.


Medium Low Negligible


Value: Receptor is not designated but is of local to regional importance for marine geology, oceanography or physical processes.


Value: Receptor is not designated but is of local importance for marine geology, oceanography or physical processes.


Value: Receptor is not designated and is not deemed of importance for marine geology, oceanography or physical processes.
