The
recent growth in activity in the world's oceans and waterways falls
broadly into four categories:
-
Surveys
of the water column, seafloor and strata below the seabed by use
of towed or static equipment.
-
Construction,
operation and maintenance of subsea installations using
equipment that can be manned or unmanned, autonomous or remotely
operated.
-
Recreational or scientific activity using manned vehicles or
data recording devices.
-
Generation of renewable energy by way of tide or wave machines.
|
