knock-on effect

The movement of these 19 marine species is likely to have a knock-on effect on coastal communities in the North Sea, including potentially bigger fish catches, according to Dr Townhill.

Mr Pearson said the loss of the Teesside plant would also mean a "catastrophic knock-on effect in other vital sectors of the economy".

The latest statistics go up to March and therefore don't take into account the knock-on effect of increased small boat crossings in the months since.

The agency added in a post on Facebook that roads and bridges were also affected by the flood, which has had a knock-on effect on the local economy and traffic.

That has a knock-on effect on local energy prices, which is also provoking a backlash in some areas.
