A global approach to mapping the environmental risk of harbours on aquatic systems
The goal of this paper is to propose a screening method for assessing the environmental risk to aquatic systems in harbours worldwide. A semi-quantitative method is based on environmental pressures, environmental conditions and societal response. The method emerges as a useful approach towards the foundation of a global environmental risk atlas of harbours that should guide this sector to develop a more globally informed strategy of sustainable development.
