Disposal sites in the past have been designated by UK government agencies. These sites are now designated in Wales by Natural Resources Wales through the issue of a marine licence under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009). Disposal sites are designated based on industry requirements taking into account proximity to certain activities, such as ports which are dredged on a regular basis and ecological conditions as well as other parameters. They vary in size and location. Some have evolved over time and sites are designated for different reasons. Designation depends on certain factors including (but not limited to) the type of material being dropped, and the physical processes occurring in those areas.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Attribution statement</strong></span></p> <p>Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Data source</strong></span></p> <p><a href="https://data.cefas.co.uk/view/407" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cefas</a></p> false Marine Licenced Disposal Sites site_ 1 1 xsd:string name_ 1 1 xsd:string status_ 1 1 xsd:string depth__m__ 1 1 xsd:long sea_area_ 1 1 xsd:string sector_policy 1 1 xsd:string sector_policy_verbose_en 1 1 xsd:string sector_policy_verbose_cy 1 1 xsd:string caveat_en 1 1 xsd:string caveat_cy 1 1 xsd:string geom 1 1 gml:PolygonPropertyType
