    8. Project risk assessment
    Risks and management interventions associated with the Project are outlined in Table 9. These risks describe the project operational risks only. Risk associated with
    shellfish ecosystem restoration (e.g. impacts to habitat, marine species and users) are located within the MER Plan (Appendix 2).
