Impacts Impacts are the measurable consequences of an environmental change and may include loss or modification of Marine Park Values. Physical Damage This section provides a description of nature and of physical damage (an environmental state change). Nature of Physical Damage Nature refers to location and type of physical damage. Location With regard to location of physical damage, Figure 4-1 presents data as 10 x 10 m colour coded grid cells. Where physical damage was recorded within a cell, it is coloured coded yellow. Where no damage was observed, cells are colour coded green and reported as undamaged. In the absence of data, grid cells are left empty (transparent). Please note that in most cases, each cell contains a single data point (interpolated to the full extent of the 10 x 10 m cell). Therefore, while a cluster of yellow cells may indicate a broad area of physical damage, the results displayed in Figure 4-1 may not be representative of physical damage for the entire cell (see Appendix E for build report). Figure 4-1 shows that recorded physical damage is located predominantly within the Low Relief Terrace. It appears that the morphology of the adjoining High Relief Terrace constrained the movement of Shen Neng 1 (during the grounding incident) and may have influenced the nature of the associated physical damage.
