Project Description:DECOM-MPA will develop a Decision Support Document (DSD) and strengthen the evidence base to support decision making for decommissioning oil and gas infrastructure on the qualifying features and integrity of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The DSD will meet the current requirements of the regulatory regime, but provide flexibility to evolve in response to changing regulations. Stakeholders as partners is considered essential to a successful project and significantly increases the likelihood that outputs will be applied to real-world decision-making.Objectives:(1) To develop a user-friendly DSD to facilitate decision-making for understanding the impacts (positive and negative) of decommissioning operations on the condition of MPA qualifying features and site integrity;(2) To gather and assess (providing confidence scores) the best available scientific evidence to underpin the assessment of impacts of decommissioning options on major marine habitats and species, including taking an innovative natural capital focus;(3) To engage end-users (incl. industry, industry bodies, SNCBs, regulators & academia) throughout the project to provide proof of concept, identify sources of evidence and provide case studies;(4) To assess potential short and long-term impacts of decommissioning options on MPA qualifying features and site integrity using industry-led case study examples from the North Norfolk Sandbanks and Saturn Reefs cSAC/SCI, and(5) To provide end-users with an innovative and user-friendly evidence-based approach to better understand the risks, opportunities and impacts of decommissioning on MPAs and the wider marine environment.Impacts:Although it is unlikely that the full impacts of DECOM-MPA will be measurable within the project timescale, expected impacts will provide the best combination of:Environmental benefits:- maintained or enhanced MPA integrity;- reduced impact on marine ecosystems;- maximisation of ecosystem service provision;- improved scientific evidence base to support sustainable decommissioning (as well as renewable energy and other construction activities within MPAs).Economic benefits:- support a transparent decision process, decreasing the likelihood of challenging the method selection and reducing associated additional time and cost of regulatory reviews of decommissioning programmes;- early insights into risks and opportunities presented by decommissioning operations;- strengthened links with academia to influence the future research agenda to deliver industry-relevant knowledge, and- enhancing transferability potential of decision support products to other areas.Societal benefits:- enhanced sustainability and societal acceptability of selected decommissioning options;- translating existing knowledge to make it useable and accessible to users;- improved knowledge gained through research (cognitive benefits);- identifying unrealised benefits from decommissioning options within and out with MPAs;- identified knowledge gaps improving efficiency of public research spending, and- enhanced reputation by exporting UK scientific excellence to inform global decommissioning solutions.Keywords: Decision Support Document, stakeholders, Marine Protected Areas, decommissioning, oil & gas, evidence, assessment, case studiesKey Stakeholders: BEIS, JNCC, NE, SNH, Oil and Gas Industry, Oil and Gas Industry Representatives, Marine Scotland, MMO

项目描述：decomm - mpa将开发一份决策支持文件（DSD），并加强证据基础，以支持有关海洋保护区（MPAs）的合格特征和完整性的退役油气基础设施决策。渠务署将会符合现行规管制度的要求，但亦会因应不断变化的规管而提供灵活性。作为合作伙伴的利益相关者被认为是项目成功的关键，并大大增加了产出应用于实际决策的可能性。目标：(1)开发一个用户友好的DSD，以促进决策，以了解退役操作对MPA合格特征和现场完整性的影响（积极和消极）；(2)收集和评估（提供置信度分数）现有的最佳科学证据，以支持评估退役方案对主要海洋生境和物种的影响，包括采取创新的自然资本重点；(3)在整个项目中与最终用户（包括行业、行业机构、sncb、监管机构和学术界）合作，提供概念证明，确定证据来源并提供案例研究；(4)通过北诺福克沙洲和土星礁cSAC/SCI的行业主导案例研究，评估退役方案对海洋保护区资格特征和现场完整性的潜在短期和长期影响；(5)为最终用户提供一种创新的、用户友好的基于证据的方法，以更好地了解退役对海洋保护区和更广泛的海洋环境的风险、机遇和影响。影响：虽然在项目时间表内不太可能测量decomm -MPA的全部影响，但预期的影响将提供以下方面的最佳组合：环境效益：-保持或增强MPA的完整性；-减少对海洋生态系统的影响；-尽量提供生态系统服务；-改善科学证据基础，以支持可持续的退役（以及海洋保护区内的可再生能源和其他建筑活动）。经济效益：-支持透明的决策过程，减少挑战方法选择的可能性，减少相关的额外时间和监管审查的成本；-早期洞察退役作业带来的风险和机遇；-加强与学术界的联系，以影响未来的研究议程，提供与行业有关的知识，以及-提高决策支持产品向其他领域转移的潜力。社会效益：-提高选定的退役方案的可持续性和社会可接受性；-转化现有知识，使其可供用户使用和使用；-改进通过研究获得的知识（认知益处）；-确定海洋保护区内外的退役方案未实现的效益；-发现了知识差距，提高了公共研究支出的效率，并且-通过输出英国的卓越科学成果，为全球退役解决方案提供信息，提高了声誉。关键利益相关者：BEIS、JNCC、NE、SNH、油气行业、油气行业代表、苏格兰海洋公司、MMO
