Metadata: 2003, Npower Renewables Ltd., North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm, Baseline Monitoring
Abstract:
This project examines baseline monitoring surveys that were undertaken at the site of the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm. Pre-construction baseline data were obtained over a period of 1 month (15th February to 17th March 2003). Marine sediments were surveyed at seventeen locations using a day grab. Particle Size analysis was carried out on each of these grab samples. Suspended sediment monitoring was also carried out. Benthic organisms were surveyed from three replicate samples which were obtained from the seventeen marine sediment samples. Two hundred and eight benthic invertebrate taxa were found as well as four major biotopes. Fishing vessels were also monitored for loss of abundance or change in distribution of their catches. Grey seal counts are being collated to allow for any major influence of wind farm construction and/or operation to be assessed.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4619 |
| 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. | 2003, Npower Renewables Ltd., North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm, Baseline Monitoring |
| 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. | 3f9218b738fe55eda1525670102da7e7 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 487 |
| 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 | 2003-02-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2003-03-17 |
| 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. | This document describes the baseline monitoring undertaken to comply with the conditions of the Food and Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) 1985: Part II (as amended), licence reference 31579/02/0 (as amended), issued to NWP Offshore Ltd. for the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm. Pre-development benthic monitoring surveys were carried out at 17 locations in and around the North Hoyle development site on 13th and 14th September 2002. At each location three replicate Day Grab samples were taken for analysis of benthic fauna, and a further sample was taken for analysis of sediment. |
