Summary

The dataset contains data related to registered offshore sediment disposal sites around the UK coast and includes volumes of disposed material, dredged areas, calculated levels of contaminants in the disposal material and licence details. Data were collated for the years 2000 to 2020. The Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) on behalf of Department for environment, food and rural affairs (Defra), report these data for the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man, annually as a UK obligation under both the London Convention/London Protocol on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (LCLP) and the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR).
