Metadata: 2014, Brown and May Marine, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Fish and Shellfish Ecology Study
Abstract:
Brown and May have been commissioned by Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd. (MORL) to perform the baseline fish and shellfish ecology assessment of the modified Offshore Transmission Infrastructure (OfTI) located in the Moray Firth, Northern North Sea. This report summarises the ecology and distribution of fish and shellfish, including salmon and sea trout and an impact assessment evaluating the potential effects of the modified OfTI on fish and shellfish receptors during the construction, operation and decommissioning phases, taking account of guidance provided in the National Policy Statement (NPS) for Renewable Energy. This series includes the Technical Report, a chapter of the MORL OfTI Environmental Statement, associated figures in pdf and GIS datasets.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18215 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2014, Brown and May Marine, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Fish and Shellfish Ecology Study |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Fish and Shellfish Ecology Study |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 0188cda4-7bfb-4fcc-a28b-9459579cfdcb |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-381 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-04-14 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-06-19 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Fish and shellfish ecological baseline has been undertaken using data sources listed in the ES chapter. These data sources are subject to certain sensitivities and limitations, which are described in more detail in the Technical Appendix 4.2 A Fish and Shellfish Technical Report. Potential impacts on fish and shellfish ecology (including Diadromous species) the following guidelines will be used to inform the assessment: Overarching NPS for Energy (EN-1) (Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) 2011a); and NPS for Renewable Energy Infrastructure (EN-3), July 2011. |
