Metadata: 2011, Brown and May, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, MORL Fish and Shellfish Ecology Assessment (including Noise Assessment)
Abstract:
Brown & May carried out an assessment of the likely significant effects of the construction, operation and decommissioning phases of Telford, Stevenson and MacColl Wind Farms on fish and shellfish resources. For the purposes of this assessment a realistic worst case scenario, taking account of the engineering parameters with the potential to cause the greatest effect upon fish and shellfish resources, has been described. In order to support the assessment and provide an indication of the ecological significance of the predicted noise impact ranges, the location and extent of spawning grounds is provided for herring, cod and plaice and, in the case of salmon, the location of SAC rivers. Noise sensitvity studies have been done for Dab, Cod, Herring and Salmon.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18550 |
| 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. | 2011, Brown and May, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, MORL Fish and Shellfish Ecology Assessment (including Noise Assessment) |
| 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. | 3b27e059-7c5a-4404-8fb0-f8ecca1f5ed3 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-356 |
| 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 | 2010-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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 following documents have provided guidance for the undertaking of the Fish and Shellfish Ecology baseline assessment: Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of Draft Plan for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters: Volume I: Environmental Report (Marine Scotland, 2010). Habitats Regulations Appraisal of Draft Plan for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Territorial Waters. Appropriate Assessment Information Review (Marine Scotland, 2011). CEFAS Guidance Note for Environmental Impact Assessment in Respect of the FEPA and CPA Requirements (CEFAS 2004). Marine Scotland Science (MSS) Scoping Opinion. Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Scoping Advice (14.05.2010). Establishing Fish and Shellfish Ecology baseline requires an approach that incorporates a number of different data and information sources. The principal sources of information used were as follows: Marine Scotland Science (MSS) publications. International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) publications. Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Landings Data by ICES rectangle for the period 2000-2009. Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture (CEFAS) publications.
