Metadata: 2013-2015, Natural Power, Lashy Sound Tidal Site, Bird and Marine Mammal Surveys
Abstract:
Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd (SRTP) has been awarded an Agreement for Lease (AfL) for a commercial tidal energy project to be located at Lashy Sound between the islands of Eday and Sanday in Orkney. Lashy Sound is in close proximity to a number of designated sites for wildlife; the Calf of Eday Special Protection Area (SPA) is designated for internationally important numbers of breeding seabirds and the Sanday Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is designated for nationally important numbers of breeding harbour seals. A 24 month programme of baseline surveys was undertaken for the proposed Lashy Sound tidal array. The aim of these surveys was to characterise the use of the proposed SRTP development site by birds, marine mammals and basking sharks.

| 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. | 2013-2015, Natural Power, Lashy Sound Tidal Site, Bird and Marine Mammal Surveys |
| 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. | 2081c866-c62f-45da-8cf4-d82726baa504 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 1064392 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Surveys were undertaken between March 2013 and February 2015 from four Vantage Points (VPs): two on Eday and two on Sanday. All surveys were carried out by experienced ornithologists. Two methods were used to record the ornithology of the site: one to cover periods of slack tide (one hour either side of high and low water) and one to cover periods of peak flow (during the other four hours of the tidal cycle). During the summer months, eight hours were completed at each VP per month, with four hours focussed on peak flow and four hours focussed on slack tide. During the winter months six hours were completed at each VP per month, as the number of birds and marine mammals on site was less than in the summer. Four hours were focussed on peak flow and two hours were focussed on slack tide. |
