Description:
A submarine pipeline (also known as marine, subsea or offshore pipeline) is a pipeline that is laid on the seabed or below it inside a trench. In some cases, the pipeline is mostly on-land but in places it crosses water expanses, such as small seas, straights and rivers. Submarine pipelines are used primarily to carry oil or gas, but transportation of water is also important.
MSP Challenge 2050:
The Pipelines layer is a static data layer. Pipelines are point-by-point lines that you can draw in, edit or remove when making a plan.
Pipelines create the following pressures on the ecosystem:
- Artificial substrate
- Noise during construction
- Surface disturbance during construction
- Bottom disturbance during construction
Pipelines disallow the bottom trawl fishing fleet. During construction (and only then), the drift and fixed nets and industrial and pelagic trawl fishing fleets are also disallowed.
