Metadata: 2009, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd., CMACS), Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Post-construction (Year 3) 2m Beam Trawl Survey
Abstract:
The benthic survey programme, developed by CMACS and approved by the Licence Authority, comprises grab survey (to sample infauna and sediment, reported separately) and 2m beam trawl to sample epifaunal invertebrates and small demersal fish, which is reported here. The programme commenced with baseline (pre-construction) surveys in autumn 2005. The report in this series presents the results of monitoring carried out in autumn 2009, more than two years after completion of major construction activities, and considers results of all four surveys (baseline, during construction and two post-construction) in relation to the potential effects of wind farm construction and operation on benthic environmental receptors.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4670 |
| 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. | 2009, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd., CMACS), Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Post-construction (Year 3) 2m Beam Trawl Survey |
| 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. | 497bf9d7-c0ae-4bfe-bc6f-c03765883a7e |
| 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 | 2009-09-26 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-09-27 |
| 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 2009 epifaunal invertebrate and fish survey was conducted over two days on the 26th and 27th September (just over 1 week after the benthic grab survey) using the survey vessel ‘Halcyon Days’ operating out of Canada Dock, Liverpool, and returning to berth on a daily basis. A standard CEFAS 2m beam trawl with a 4mm square mesh cod end equipped with a chain matrix was used, being towed at each site for a distance of 300m1 at a speed of 2 knots to allow sufficient warp for the trawl to “fish” the bottom properly. All tows were undertaken into the prevailing current and a total of 12 sites were surveyed (see Figure 1). |
