Metadata: 2010, EGS (International) Ltd, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms, Geophysical and Biological Surveys
Abstract:
Geophysical and biological surveys to investigate and monitor the routing and development sites. Phase 1 Geophysical survey (Post-Construction, 2010). Multi-beam swath bathymetry (MBES) and side-scan sonar were used to identify the distribution and extent of broad scale sediment types and detect any seabed features present in the wind farm sites and export cable corridors. Results from the geophysical survey were used to inform the locations of benthic grab and drop down video survey stations across the survey area. Phase 2 Benthic Ecology Survey (Post-Construction, 2010). Report CREL/C/400012 published November 2011. Phase 2 provides ground truthing of the acoustic dataset. The biological component of this survey included both a habitat and benthic sampling programme, including the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of benthic sample data. Field operations were undertaken by EGSi in September and October 2010, assisted by Benthic Solutions Limited, who subsequently carried out the analysis and reporting on behalf of EGSi. Field samples were acquired using a Hamon grab sampler with additional ground truthing using seabed photography and video via a drop down camera technique.

| 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. | 2010, EGS (International) Ltd, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms, Geophysical and Biological 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. | 3bb5116cab2a59a9afcef1180c07f69b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 5304 |
| 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 | 2010-07-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-11-01 |
| 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 Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms have been fully operational since March 2009. The installation of offshore foundations was completed in 2007 with export cable routes completed in summer 2008. Pre-construction baseline surveys of the wind farm recorded aggregations of Sabellaria spinulosa within the survey area (Sotheran et al., 2005). More recent surveys in the region undertaken by the Eastern Sea Fisheries Joint Committee (ESFJC, 2008) also recorded Sabellaria sp. aggregations and also recorded areas of mussel beds (Mytilus edulis). Both Sabellaria sp. and Mytilus sp. are known to form biogenic reefs which are listed as Annex I habitats under the EC Habitats Directive and the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Post-construction hydrographic surveys conducted by EMU in June and July 2009 recorded S. spinulosa aggregations throughout the site and identified four areas of potential S. spinulosa reef. The survey also recorded M. edulis beds at two sites and one area of potential mussel reef was also recorded within the survey area. |
