Metadata: 2006, RPS, Race Bank, Docking Shoal and Lincs Offshore Cable Route, Intertidal Habitat Appraisal
Abstract:
RPS have been requested by Centrica Energy to give an Environmental Appraisal of the intertidal habitats along the proposed Lincs, Docking Shoal and Race Bank cable route, as part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for a Round 2 offshore wind farm development. This appraisal uses existing published data to evaluate the benthic communities within the vicinity of the proposed cable route corridor, to assess their importance relative to the wider Wash area, and in comparison to other similar habitats. Given that the previous datasets are somewhat dated, a survey of the biological resources along the route corridor was conducted and a temporal comparison of these resources was made.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4634 |
| 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. | 2006, RPS, Race Bank, Docking Shoal and Lincs Offshore Cable Route, Intertidal Habitat Appraisal |
| 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. | 42142a96b03850f1b39cbae914c989a0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 619 |
| 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 | 1986 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | RPS have been requested by Centrica Energy to give an Environmental Appraisal of the intertidal habitats along the proposed Lincs, Docking Shoal and Race Bank cable route, as part of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for a Round 2 offshore wind farm development. This appraisal uses existing published data to evaluate the benthic communities within the vicinity of the proposed cable route corridor, to assess their importance relative to the wider Wash area, and in comparison to other similar habitats. Given that the previous datasets are somewhat dated, a survey of the biological resources along the route corridor was conducted and a temporal comparison of these resources was made. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | An assessment has been made as to the potential impacts of the temporary disturbance to these communities from laying the cable and whether this is likely to have implications through the food webs to fisheries, marine mammals and essentially to birds. This assessment is made in light of the area’s designation as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Special Protection Area (SPA), as part of the Natura 2000 network of internationally designated conservation sites. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Origin: RPS Planning Transport and Environment |
