ABSTRACT This paper identifies the offshore hydrocarbon operations which contribute to planned and unplanned objects being placed on the seafloor by the oil and gas industry Examples of underwater equipment and debris likely to be encountered are described The interaction and co-operation required ...
ABSTRACT Laser line scan is an optical system for observing the seafloor. A rotating prism in a towed fish sweeps a laser beam across the bottom. The return signal is received at the fish, and can be enhanced digitally using sophisticated image-processing techniques. Laser line scan's coverage rate ...
ABSTRACT: Worldwide, there is a risk of tension between the fishing industry and the offshore oil and gas industries because of competing requirements for use of the seabed.

The increase in offshore wind farm developments and the focus on environmental impact from new regulatory bodies and the public have focused attention on trenching operations. ...
ABSTRACT After some 30 years of oil and gas exploration and exploitation in the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea there is now a move into new pastures to the west of the Shetland Isles. This coincides with a move by the fishing industry into deeper water in the same area. For both industries the risks ...
ABSTRACT: The fish fauna associated with two ENI-AGIP gas platforms (Regina and Annalisa) located in the central Adriatic sea was investigated at regular intervals for two and three years from their construction through fishing samplings. The monitoring was also carried out at two open sea control sites ...
