Assessment Brief:<\/strong>
Students will undertake a detailed environmental risk assessment for a selected coastal or offshore engineering operation, such as oil transfer, dredging, aquaculture, or offshore renewable energy installation. The task is to evaluate potential sources of pollution, risk pathways, and control measures in compliance with the MARPOL Convention, OSPAR guidelines, and UK marine licensing frameworks. The report must include quantitative and qualitative risk evaluation methods, scenario modelling, and an environmental management plan outlining mitigation and monitoring strategies.<\/p>\n
