Metadata: 2013, Osiris Projects, Skerries, Geophysical Survey
Abstract:
The objective of the survey was to provide high quality bathymetric, backscatter, subbottom data and sonar imagery across the turbine area, cable route and landfall site, for the evaluation and interpretation of: ? Shallow geology and seabed features. ? Benthic habitat and epifauna. ? Bedrock at turbine locations to a target penetration of 20m below seabed. In particular: o Presence or absence of faulting over the 20m interval o Rock mass characteristics, internal horizons and vertical extent of weathered/fractured zones. ? Areas for known, unknown and potential archaeological material as part of the Marine Archaeological EIA work. In addition, video camera imagery was collected to ground truth the interpretation of suspected Annex 1 habitats at selected locations across the turbine area, cable route and landing site. A beach topographic survey was carried out using RTK positioning within the intertidal zone, with an air lancing technique used to ascertain beach sediment thicknesses. As a separate exercise, magnetometer data was acquired within the Cemaes Bay area to locate the extents of an existing, charted sub-sea cable, which is believed to cross the proposed L3 corridor. Please note the video survey report and data are provided in a separate series, titled '2013, Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd. CMACS, Skerries Tidal Site, Benthic Survey'.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19138 |
| 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. | 2013, Osiris Projects, Skerries, Geophysical Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Geophysical 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. | 4ecb7b1b-bd1a-4c9d-b833-cea01fa0d03c |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2026 |
| 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 | 2013-03-18 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-05-02 |
| 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 |
