Bow-tie analysis
The bow-tie analysis for oil and gas activities shows the relationships between the DAPSIR components. Oil and gas activities and carbon capture and storage are identified as exerting pressures with the potential to cumulatively contribute to biodiversity state changes in the thematic assessments on:
Collectively, the pressures from oil and gas activities on biodiversity status include:
| Benthic habitats | Fish | Marine Birds | Marine Mammals |
|---|---|---|---|
Seabed disturbance Habitat loss/change | Noise | Seabed disturbance Habitat loss/change Disturbance of species Input of other substances Input of other forms of energy (light) Input of litter | Seabed disturbance Habitat loss/change Disturbance of species Input of other substances Input of other forms of energy (light) Input of litter Noise |
The environmental pressures from oil and gas activities are described in the pressure section of this thematic assessment . Since a range of other human activities exert these same pressures, the biodiversity thematic assessments include consideration of the collective pressures from them.
