The percentage value of demersal species ranged from 43% in 2004 to 62% in 2002 and 2005 (Table 4.18).

The ‘relative value’ gives an indication of sensitivity, where damaging events, such as an oil spill, would be of more concern in an area of higher fisheries value than a similar spill in less productive waters. In the proposed Bardolino development area the ‘relative value’ of the demersal, pelagic, Nephrops and shellfish fisheries is “low” (Table 4.19). Overall, taking into account all species, the ‘relative value’ for the proposed development area is low (SEERAD, 2006b).

The majority of shipping traffic comprises merchant ships, supply vessels and tankers (BMT Cordah, 2001). Shipping routes that pass within a 10 nm radius of the Howe subsea manifold were identified using Anatec’s UK shipping route database, ShipRoutes (Anatec UK Ltd., 2006). The proposed location of the Bardolino well site and associated pipelines occur within the 10 nm radius of the shipping route study. The ShipRoutes database is continuously updated and takes into account changes to shipping routes necessitated by new and existing oil and gas installations. It should be noted that the database does not included details of routes that are termed as non-routine traffic, e.g. fishing vessels and traffic to mobile drilling units. A total of 12 different shipping routes were identified as passing within 10 nm of the Howe subsea manifold with an annual traffic volume of 624 ships per year (Table 4.20) averaging 1 to 2 vessels per day (Anatec UK Ltd., 2006).
