| Abstract |
The marine aggregate extraction industry in the North Sea is well established and growing. The article reviews the potential physical impact of sand and gravel extraction. The impact is site-specific and depends on numerous factors, including extraction method, sediment type and mobility, bottom topography, and bottom current strength. |
