Why might anchoring directly on a seagrass meadow cause lasting environmental damage, compared to anchoring on bare sand or mud?

A. Seagrass grows back within hours regardless of any disturbance

B. An anchor and chain dragging or resetting across seagrass can uproot and scar the meadow, which recovers extremely slowly (often years) and provides important nursery habitat, carbon storage, and seabed stabilisation that bare sand doesn't

C. Seagrass is not protected or ecologically significant in any way

D. Anchoring on seagrass is only a concern in tropical waters, never in UK waters

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

C. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
