The Port of Dover (PoD) handles £144 billion trade and 33% of all UK trade with the EU. With 120 daily ferry movements, it is capable of clearing 110 miles of freight traffic per day, making it a vital part of the EU-UK trade route. It is also home to an award-winning cruise terminal, cargo terminal and marinas. In order to monitor any impact these activities may have on their surrounding environment PoD has an extensive and rigorous monitoring programme, that has been in place since 1992. Within her presentation Megan will cover all of the surveys Port of Dover currently undertake, the methodologies as well as any interesting results and hurdles the port has had to overcome to establish this monitoring programme. They will also cover how this monitoring programme has helped them develop the port safely and control their impacts on the surrounding environment.
