Summary
Guidance distinguishes debris recovery from seabed clearance verification during oil and gas decommissioning. It explains when ROV recovery, geophysical surveys and over-trawl methods are appropriate, considering safety zones, seabed disturbance and protected habitats. It also addresses chain-mat remediation of snagging hazards, regulatory review and marine licensing requirements.
