AB - The report identifies possible knowledge gaps, such as the effects of electromagnetic fields and thermal radiation, and recommends a set of options and actions for subsea cable stakeholders to take forward, including:improved procedures at the outset of project planning and knowledge sharing;improved guidance on environmental impact assessment (EIA), including EIA scoping and cumulative effect assessment;focus on research areas that could lead to a better understanding of different consenting requirements across countries;addressing knowledge gaps identified by current literature, the industry and relevant stakeholders;updating currently available "good-practice" guidelines with stakeholders' consultation and input to encourage industry engagement.The development of two different tools was also considered as an outcome of the report:I) an installation tool factsheet outlining the estimated level of disturbance for each tool and which installation tools are suitable for which habitat type;II) a singular data register outlining what environmental data is available – and to whom, which organisations have ownership of specific data sets and what data is available for purchase.
