Metadata: 2012, Marine Ecological Surveys Ltd, Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, A Post-Construction Monitoring Survey of Benthic Resources
Abstract:
Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (MESL) was commissioned by Vattenfall and Haskoning UK Ltd on behalf of Thanet Offshore Wind Ltd (TOWL) to undertake a post-construction monitoring survey of benthic resources at Thanet Offshore Wind Farm (TOWF). The monopile colonisation study which will determine the colonisation on four monopile foundations in terms of dominant species and diversity and assess the rate of colonisation will be undertaken during the first appropriate weather window in spring 2013, as approved by the MMO and their advisors. The survey followed the specification set out in the TOWF Terms of Reference which were agreed with industry regulators prior to commencement of the survey. A total of 53 faunal grabs, 42 sediment samples for particle size analysis, 21 sediment samples for organic content analysis and 230 seabed images were acquired during the course of the investigation.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4311 |
| 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. | 2012, Marine Ecological Surveys Ltd, Thanet Offshore Wind Farm, A Post-Construction Monitoring Survey of Benthic Resources |
| 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. | 09b59343-dab2-462e-ad0a-da8b989dcb77 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TOWF-PCR-0113 |
| 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 | 2026-04-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-19 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (MESL) was commissioned by Vattenfall and Haskoning UK Ltd on behalf of Thanet Offshore Wind Ltd (TOWL) to undertake a post-construction monitoring survey of benthic resources at Thanet Offshore Wind Farm (TOWF).

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Following a request from the MMO and their advisors for an assessment of the organic matter within the sediments, a fourth grab sample from each of the 25 benthic monitoring stations was obtained. A 1kg sediment sample was collected and transferred into a labelled sediment pot and sealed with a secure lid, for subsequent organic matter content analysis. |
