Metadata: 2004-2005, PMSS, North Hoyle, Annual FEPA Monitoring Report
Abstract:
The Annual FEPA Monitoring Report (2004–2005) for the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm was issued on 1 February 2006. The study aimed to monitor environmental impacts related to the wind farm’s construction and operation using a combination of geophysical surveys, benthic and fisheries data collection, sonar studies, and ornithological and marine mammal observations. The findings indicate no significant short-term or long-term negative effects on sediment types, benthic communities, fish assemblages, or major bird and cetacean populations, with biodiversity and natural processes maintained and only minor localized changes noted in some species. Continued monitoring is recommended to confirm these trends and address data gaps, especially for grey seals at West Hoyle Bank, while ongoing studies (such as those investigating electromagnetic effects) are expected to provide further clarity on any potential impacts.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 29849 |
| 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. | 2004-2005, PMSS, North Hoyle, Annual FEPA Monitoring Report |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Annual FEPA Monitoring Report |
| 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. | 4d57a9ee-d553-41d0-8187-4bbb5cb3a06d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1684 |
| 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 | 2004-03-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-03-31 |
| 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 |
