Metadata: 2011-2013, RPS, Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, Boat-based Ornithological Monitoring
Abstract:
Since 2007 a boat-based monitoring programme has been undertaken for the Lincs/LID6 offshore wind farm to collect information on seabird species during the pre-construction (2007-2010) and construction (2011- 2012) periods. Pre-construction surveys identified 12 key species which either occurred in (regionally) important numbers or were considered potentially sensitive to the construction and operation of the offshore wind farm. The main aim of this report is to determine whether the effects of construction related activities have had a measurable influence on the populations of each of the key species. To that end information is presented to explore changes in abundance, seasonal and spatial distribution of birds recorded within the Study Area between pre-construction and construction periods. Results from surveys during the construction period indicated the continued presence of all key species, generally at similar levels of abundance compared to the pre-construction period. However, most of these species occurred in insufficient numbers to allow for robust statistical analysis. In order to explore potential disturbance effects of construction activities, ultimately three species, reflecting high, moderate and low levels of susceptibility to disturbance respectively, were chosen for inclusion in analysis: red-throated diver, guillemot and great black-backed gull. Statistical analysis of population estimates of these three species did not reveal significant differences between pre-construction and construction periods of the Lincs/LID6 offshore wind farm.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | In accordance with the monitoring effort agreed with the MMO and NE, pre-construction and construction monitoring effort consisted of: - monthly surveys from March to August; - 3 x monthly surveys in September and October in order to capture the peak passage period for migrating species; and - one survey during November / December, and January / February. A total of 41 surveys were undertaken during pre-construction between December 2007 and February 2011. The agreed survey effort was undertaken where possible, with a few minor exceptions: the third October survey in 2008 was undertaken in early November 2008, and surveys were not undertaken in May and June 2009 and January / February 2011. In the Construction Period a total of 28 surveys were undertaken between March 2011 and January 2013 inclusive. The whole Study Area was covered in each instance, with all surveys completed in a single day. |
