This dataset has been created to define future aggregate resource areas (AGG3) as shown in the MMO East Inshore and East Offshore marine plans. The data represents key outputs from the British Geological Society (BGS) Report, The Mineral Resources of The East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plan Areas (Bide et al, 2011). This depicts mineral resources with current or potential future economic interest in the East Inshore and East Offshore marine plan areas. The data displayed on the map was created by combining; The geological distribution of all offshore aggregate minerals and Prospective areas for coarse sand and gravel in the Humber, East Anglia region and the Outer Thames Estuary.

The purpose of this dataset is to show the defined areas of high potential aggregate resource to which policy AGG3 applies. It highlights areas within which potentially workable minerals may occur.
The 2 datasets used to create this layer are,
1. The geological distribution of all offshore aggregate minerals: This data highlights the presence of coarse sand and gravel considered to be of national importance, suitable for construction or beach nourishment. This layer was created using data held by the BGS, augmented by data collected from Regional Environment Characterisation Reports (REC) funded by the Marine Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (MALSF). Three REC studies have been undertaken in the East Inshore and East Offshore Plan areas - The Humber, The East Coast, and the Outer Thames Estuary. Geophysical data, grab samples and bathymetric data collected and processed as part of the RECs was incorporated into the dataset used to interpret the distribution of sand and gravel resources.
2. Prospective areas for coarse sand and gravel in the Humber, East Anglia region and the Outer Thames Estuary: These are prospective areas for construction aggregates, where the geographical and depositional setting indicates that geological features and associated deposits are likely to be present, but where there was no data available to confirm this.
Please note that the following limitations apply to this dataset,
1. The areas of potentially workable minerals are not of uniform or equal potential and also take no account of planning constraints that may limit their working.
2. The economic potential of individual sites can only be proved by a detailed evaluation programme, which is an essential precursor to the submission of a planning application.
3. Extensive areas are shown as having no mineral resource potential, however some aggregate dredging does occur in these areas. The presence of these operations generally reflects local or specific situations which may require site specific investigation to identify. This can result marine mineral licenses covering areas where no resource is shown.
4. this data should be viewed alongside policy AGG3 in the East Inshore and East Offshore marine plans
