Metadata: 2009, COWRIE, Developing Guidance on Ornithological Cumulative Impact Assessment for Offshore Wind Farm Developers
Abstract:
The aim of this project is to develop written guidance for developers to assist in the process of the assessment of cumulative impacts of wind farms on bird populations. The project, managed by a steering group, determined that the guidance should be based on scientific principles, recommend methodologies robust enough to meet statutory requirements and be practicable for developers within the time frames and resources normally available for environmental impact assessment.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4375 |
| 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. | 2009, COWRIE, Developing Guidance on Ornithological Cumulative Impact Assessment for Offshore Wind Farm Developers |
| 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. | 15d129f5c4a857bbb5e65c875b0c10c9 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 3406 |
| 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. | Methods and techniques 6. A comprehensive ‘long list’ of species to undergo CIA should be compiled at the scoping stage 7. The ‘long-list’ should be screened using expert judgment and a range of resources eg Appendix 7: List of species potentially at risk of cumulative impacts in Round 3 8. A list of all local SPA (Ramsar and SSSI) species together with predicted impacts, including cumulative, should be included in the ES. Reasons should be given for any species screened out of CIA 9. Quantitative data on number and density for all species at a project site should be included in the ES to enable quantitative CIA to be undertaken retrospectively if necessary 10. To provide the context of CIA, where quantitative information is available, the baseline conditions relevant to study features (eg relevant populations) should be appraised to assess the significance of the effect (positive or negative) that existing (including unregulated) activities or environmental trends (including climate change) might have upon those conditions during the lifetime of the project 11.CIA should include those: a. Projects that have been consented but which are yet to be constructed b. Projects for which application has been made c. Projects that are reasonably foreseeable d. Relevant non-wind farm projects subject to EIA e. Existing projects which have yet |
