S1.2 Findings of the analysis


A summary of the pressure analysis findings on the key ecological features and historic shipwrecks of the North Marine Region is presented in Table S1.2. A summary of the pressure analysis findings on selected protected species in the North Marine Region is presented in Table S1.3.
