Low-level impacts on biological environment. Limited damage to minimal area of low significanceMinor effects on biological environment. Minor short-medium term damage to small area of limited significanceModerate effects on biological environment but not affecting ecosystem function. Moderate short-medium term widespread impacts (e.g. oil spill)Serious environmental effects with some impairment of ecosystem function (e.g. displacement of species). Relative widespread medium –long term impacts.Very serious environmental effects with impairment of ecosystem function. Long-term, widespread effects on significant environment (e.g. unique habitat, national park)
