Metadata: 2007, RPS Energy, Lynn & Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm, Marine Mammal Observer`s and Passive Acoustics Monitoring Operator`s Report
Abstract:
This project relates to the effect of the underwater noise generated during the construction of the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms on marine mammals. A specific Marine Mammal Monitoring Protocol was adopted to ensure no marine mammals were within 500 metres of the pile during the 30 minutes preceding the start of piling. Acoustic mitigation monitoring data was collected for 85 hours and visual mitigation monitoring data was collected for 82 hours. Recommendations are made for the improvement of the protocol and soft start procedures - including a refining of the soft start procedure and the use of acoustic deterrent devices during night time starts.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4742 |
| 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. | 2007, RPS Energy, Lynn & Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm, Marine Mammal Observer`s and Passive Acoustics Monitoring Operator`s 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. | 56c3895708a15714a8ad4916662822ce |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 2243 |
| 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 | 2007-04-21 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-11-25 |
| 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. | This project relates to the effect of the underwater noise generated during the construction of the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farms on marine mammals.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Centrica Renerwable Energy Ltd have commenced construction of 54 turbines within the Lynn and Inner Dowsing windfarms, 5km off the coast of Skegness. RPS was contracted to undertake an acoustical monitoring survey to identify natural and piling noise in the water column. The effects of this noise on native marine mammals (porpoises, seals etc) was then investigated. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Supply media: 001 Origin: RPS Energy |
