A global approach to mapping the environmental risk of harbours on aquatic systems
Marine Policy

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to propose a screening method for assessing the environmental risk to aquatic systems in harbours worldwide. A semi-quantitative method is based on environmental pressures, environmental conditions
and societal response. The method is flexible enough to be applied to 15 harbours globally distributed through a
multinational test using standardised and homogenised open data that can be obtained for any port worldwide.
The method emerges as a useful approach towards the foundation of a global environmental risk atlas of harbours that should guide the harbour sector to develop a more globally informed strategy of sustainable development.
