Seascape Character Type

Seascape character types are distinct areas that are relatively homogenous in character. They are generic in nature in that the may occur in different areas but share broadly similar combinations of geology, ecology, bathymetry, human influences and perceptual and aesthetic attributes. SCTs provide a framework for analysing seascape change since many influences and pressures affect seascapes with similar character in similar ways.
