In the Svalbard region of the Barents Sea, two-thirds of survey stations were classified as having low vulnerability to bottom-trawling.
These zones were high, moderate and low vulnerability zones.
Moderately high vulnerability class and moderately low vulnerability class also cover significant share of the area.
Scale 1 to 5: 1 = very low vulnerability, 2 = low, 3 = medium, 4 = high, 5 = very high vulnerability.
Within some sectors, a clear discrepancy exists between high and low vulnerability areas.
Van Stempvoort et al. (1992) subsequently classified aquifers with high hydraulic resistance with low vulnerability to contamination.
The low vulnerability score for East Attica can be attributed especially to the low physical vulnerability and the moderate socio-economic well-being of the area.
The lowest priority areas are those sub-watersheds with high OCs and low vulnerability of water resources.
It shows how the categories with extreme values of SVI (high and low vulnerability) have progressively changed.
Locations with low vulnerability occur in three pockets/localised zones at the mid-north-west and south-west.
