Metadata: 2004-2005, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd., Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm, Marine Ecology EIA
Abstract:
Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) has been contracted by Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Ltd to undertake marine ecology components of the environmental impact assessment for the proposed Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm. Following discussions with Zoe Crutchfield of JNCC it was agreed that the timing of benthic ecology survey works would be adjusted to reduce the possibility of accidental damage to reef habitat through grab sampling and beam trawling. Thus the drop down camera survey was undertaken as the first stage of benthic ecological survey. Poor water clarity on site during October 2004 meant that we were unsuccessful in obtaining footage of the seabed at our target sites. It was subsequently agreed with JNCC that benthic grab survey be undertaken first, followed by beam trawls (with greater potential to damage reef habitat) only at those sites where no evidence of reef habitat was found.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4338 |
| 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. | 2004-2005, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd., Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm, Marine Ecology EIA |
| 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. | 0ee9e091234a59cc9fc4571a7e9c72b0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 3022 |
| 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 | 2026-04-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-17 |
| 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 sidescan sonar survey was completed by Titan Surveys in summer 2004. The survey was conducted using dual frequency (100 and 500 kHz) sidescan. Titan were tasked with deploying a drop down camera if any anomalies were detected that might be biogenic reef habitat. No such anomalies were detected (Charles Houston, Titan, pers. comm..) and so the drop down camera was not used. |
