Question Title

* 10. Contaminated lands and acid sulphate soils
Contaminated land is land that has been polluted by chemicals or waste as a direct or indirect result of human or other activity. Acid sulphate soils occur naturally in the environment, but can become problematic if disturbed. When disturbed, acid sulphate soils can react with oxygen to form sulphuric acid, which has the potential to cause damage to the surrounding environment.

Marinus Link will identify potential areas of contaminated land or acid sulphate soils and outline management measures to control risks during construction.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns related to contaminated soils, including soil type, location and what we should consider.

Question Title

* 11. Economics

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns associated with the economic impact of Marinus Link to the local economy.

Question Title

* 12. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs)
Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) occur naturally but also may be generated by the different components of the project. EMFs may impact people, animals and machinery.

Marinus Link will assess EMF generation and management during the project's operation.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns related to potential EMFs, including source of EMF and location.

Question Title

* 13. Geomorphology and geology 
Geomorphology and geology include landforms, geology and soil.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns for the geological and geomorphological features of the region, such as the location, feature and its importance.

Question Title

* 14. Greenhouse gas emissions
Greenhouse gases are emissions released into the earth's atmosphere as a direct result of an activity, or range of activities such as manufacturing or construction etc.

Marinus Link will assess potential greenhouse gas emissions generated by the project's construction, operational and decommissioning, and identify measures to avoid, reduce and offset emissions.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns associated with greenhouse gases and the construction, operation and maintenance of Marinus Link.

Question Title

* 15. Hydrology and groundwater
Hydrology is the study of water above and below the earth's surface including where it is, how it moves, its physical and chemical properties and its relationship with the living and material components of the environment. Groundwater is a key component of this.

Marinus Link will assess groundwater and hydrological features within the study area and identify potential impacts and measures to avoid and minimise them.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns associated with hydrology or groundwater, such as location, water body quality and potential impacts.

Question Title

* 16. Landscape and visual amenity
The landscape and character of an area means different things to different people. However, they are characterised by the shape of the land and its environment or use. Changes to the physical character of a landscape has the potential to change its visual amenity.

Marinus Link will assess the project's landscape and visual amenity effects on public and private views, and significant landscape values in the project's vicinity.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns associated with the landscape, such as location, landscape characteristics and potential impacts you would like to see the project avoid.

Question Title

* 17. Land use and planning
Land use and planning looks at how land is currently used and how potential impacts from the project may impact land use in the future.

Marinus Link will identify existing land uses and the project's potential impacts on current and future land use.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns associated with land use and planning, such as location, current or future land use, as it relates to Marinus Link.

Question Title

* 18. Marine and marine benthic ecology (marine animals and environment)
Marine ecology is the study of living things in the ocean and how they interact with their environment, while benthic ecology is the study of marine communities that live on or near the rocks and sediments of the ocean floor. 

Marinus Link will assess the study area's marine and marine benthic ecology, to inform the assessment of construction, operation and decommissioning impacts.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can, about your concerns for marine and/ or marine benthic ecology, such as species, location and processes.

Question Title

* 19. Maritime heritage and submerged (underwater) Aboriginal Cultural Heritage 
Maritime heritage and archaeology covers the study of underwater maritime heritage such as shipwrecks and submerged archaeology of Aboriginal cultural heritage value.  Submerged Aboriginal cultural heritage considers the presence of landscapes that were once not submerged and could have evidence of early human occupation.

Marinus Link will identify sites or objects of maritime cultural heritage significance that may be impacted by the project and provide recommended management measures to avoid or minimise impacts.

Please tell us with as much detail as you can about your concerns for maritime heritage and/ or Aboriginal cultural heritage, including the reason for your concern, location, heritage and significance.

Question Title
