The benefits and results of this approach are presented in the context of offshore developments such as wind farms, the laying of electricity interconnector cables, the extraction of gravel deposits and the dredging of shipping channels into ports. It explains how this advice informs the preparation and approval of planning applications for offshore developments, the implementation of effective survey campaigns that include archaeological and palaeoenvironmental objectives as part of the planning application, mitigation of potential damage, protection of new discoveries and the delivery of training programmes for government administrators, archaeological consultants and industrial partners.
