Metadata: 2007, RPS, Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2, Benthic Ecology Study
Abstract:
This project contains the results of benthic surveys at the Gunfleet Sands I and II offshore windfarm sites. The surveys were carried out by RPS hydrosearch on behalf of DONG Energy. Results include maps of bathymetry, sediment types, seabed features and sidescan sonars. Data was collected in May 2007. Data from 2002 and 2007 surveys of the whole study area, including the cable route and the GS2 proposed offshore wind farm (just to the south of GS1) were analysed for this study. Benthic samples were collected using 0.1m2 day grabs at 65 sites in 2002 and 29 sites in 2007.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 39769 |
| 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. | 2007, RPS, Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2, Benthic Ecology Study |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Benthic Ecology Study |
| 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. | 334c865f-f23f-4a38-aa6a-dde86b236d27 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-460 |
| 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 | 2007-04-30 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-05-23 |
| 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 objective of this report is to provide a suitable preconstruction baseline of the macrobenthic community for the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm GS1. The report presents details of the survey methods, data analysis and results for both the 2002 and 2007 studies of Gunfleet Sands. Whilst this report focuses on preconstruction of the GS1 development, the data presented here also covers the study area defined for GS2, and the data is presented in a format suitable to describe the preconstruction conditions for the combined GS1 and GS2 developments. |
