Figure 9.4 Relative environmental sensitivity within the Disko Bay and Store Hellefiskebanke (V5) area, including five subareas (1–5) where heightened awareness in relation to the impacts of shipping may be needed (from Christensen et al., 2015). The colors indicate sensitivity within each grid cell (2.5 × 2.5 km), based on an assessment of the sensitivity of existing species and ecosystem components to environmental impacts from shipping (oil, noise/disturbance, and organic garbage). Relative sensitivity is expressed in 5% bins, with red being the most sensitive and blue being the least sensitive.
