Metadata: 2008-2009, ECON Ecological Consulting Ltd., Quantifying the relative use of coastal waters by breeding terns: towards effective tools for planning and assessing the ornithological impact of offshore wind farms
Abstract:
The potential impact of the development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) upon seabird populations is a key issue within the current debate on sustainable energy provision. Terns, (Sterna spp. and Sternula albifrons), especially when on their breeding grounds, have emerged as sensitive receptors in many consented and planned OWF projects. To date, information on the interaction of terns with OWFs has remained scant due to a lack of understanding of the foraging ecology of terns especially at specific sites and the inability of standard assessment tools to define the relative use of specific areas by foraging terns. The current project aimed to advance the use of a series of methodological and assessment tools, some of which were initially developed in the Greater Wash SEA area (funded by Centrica/AMEC) with others developed specifically in this project. In essence, this involved a move towards an individual-based approach.

| 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. | 2008-2009, ECON Ecological Consulting Ltd., Quantifying the relative use of coastal waters by breeding terns: towards effective tools for planning and assessing the ornithological impact of offshore wind farms |
| 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. | 0641f678-1ef8-4e6a-a073-33a21cff3a52 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 3225 |
| 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 | 2008 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The current project aimed to advance the use of a series of methodological and assessment tools, some of which were initially developed in the Greater Wash SEA area (funded by Centrica/AMEC) with others developed specifically in this project. In essence, this involved a move towards an individual-based approach. Techniques included: 1) the development of visual tracking of foraging birds from colonies using a high-powered rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RIB – Fig. A), 2) use of both observation at colonies and boat-based colony transects immediately offshore of a colony to estimate flight bearing and passage rate of outbound and inbound birds, 3) development of individual-based simulation modelling to determine foraging patterns of birds derived from flight bearing and distance relationships, 4) detailed observation of type and rate of provisions delivered to chicks, 5) development of a energy balance model to predict the optimality of different provisioning strategies for both chicks and adults and how far adults could travel from colonies in energetic terms and 6) the use of data generated by visual tracking in collision risk modelling. |
