## Description
Contribution to the evidence needed to proportionally assess applications for cable routing where sand wave clearance through active sand wave fields is proposed. There is a current lack of information and 
understanding on how the removal of sand waves impacts near bed sediment transport 
pathways; this leads to caution when this activity is proposed through or near a marine 
protected area. The aim is to use numerical models of hypothetical sand wave clearance 
scenarios to understand whether sand wave clearance is likely to affect near-bed 
sediment transport to the extent that it becomes an environmental risk to designated sedimentary habitats.
