TY - JOUR TI - Evidence for the effects of decommissioning man-made structures on marine ecosystems globally: a systematic map AU - Lemasson, A AU - Somerfield, P AU - Schratzberger, M AU - McNeill, C AU - Nunes, J AU - Pascoe, C AU - Watson, S AU - Thompson, M AU - Couce, E AU - Knights, A T2 - Environmental Evidence AB - Many marine man-made structures (MMS), such as oil and gas platforms or offshore wind turbines, are nearing their ‘end-of-life’ and require decommissioning. Limited understanding of MMS decommissioning effects currently restricts the consideration of alternative management possibilities, often leaving complete removal as the only option in certain parts of the world. This evidence-base describes the ecosystem effects of marine MMS whilst in place and following cessation of operations, with a view to informing decision-making related to their potential decommissioning.
