Bioremediation: no adverse effects in Exxon Valdez spill
not effective on extensively degraded oil however
fine sediment areas (mud flats and marshes) only effective at shallower depths…

Bioremediation impacts on microbial communities
with no oxygen, bacteria must decompose the oil
decomposed by microbes using e- receptors
changes geo-chemical and geo-physical properties of the sediment

Bioremediation - Prestige oil spill
dependent on the environment
Rhodococcus is a key player in the microbial response to spills (especially alkaline fractions)
inorganic fertilisers enhance degradation rates

2003 oil demand was 40% of the World’s energy
of all 220 nations only 42 produce oil and 38 of them export it

MRE development and Great Skuas in Scotland
GPs checking overlap showed little overlap, only some with non-breeders and wave energy sites
needs long term monitoring

Benefits to fishing of MRE
- can increase biodiversity
- artificial reefs and fish aggregation devices can improve - - - damaged ecosystems
- enhance fish stocks and benthic biota
- wider context - high connectivity means benefits outside MPAs.

Tidal energy devices (Pentland Firth, Scotland).
- devices generate noise
- increased shipping noise to area
- collision risk increased by increase in ambient noise
- electric and magnetic fields generated
- changes to water flow and sediment patterns

Multibeam imaging in Orkney
use of tidal flow, bird observations, radar surveys and acoustic monitoring
fish marine mammals and seabirds can be followed with their interaction with MRE devices
