About this Tool

Introduction

The reference materials within this library have been collated via an external consultant with experience of conducting Environment Impact Assessments for exploration and production-related activities. The library content has been identified through a combination of existing knowledge of materials relevant to the underwater sound and marine life subject and internet searches of various scientific journals, regulatory, industry, and other organizations.

In addition to relevance to both the stage of E&P activity and the assessment process, each of the references within the library has been flagged as demonstrating one of more of the criteria below. These filters enable the user to select one or more criteria to help refine a search of referenced material within the library to identify the applicability and relevance relative to E&P activities.
