Metadata: 2014, Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (MESL), Torr Head, Intertidal Characterisation Study
Abstract:
Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (MESL) has been contracted by Xodus Group Limited, on behalf of TVL, to undertake an intertidal survey in order to provide a characterisation of the potential cable route landfall sites associated with the development of the Torr Head Tidal Energy Array. This report presents the findings of the Phase I intertidal survey that was undertaken across three beaches in the vicinity of Torr Head. It is anticipated that the findings from this report are to be used to inform both the export cable options and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the development.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | MESL undertook the Torr Head intertidal assessment in a single survey conducted between the 24th and 25th September 2014. The survey was undertaken on foot and access to the foreshore was ascertained via public rights of way or where consent had been gained from private landowners. The survey team comprised two experienced MESL staff. The methods and techniques used were in accordance with the guidance outlined in the CSM Guidance, Marine Monitoring Handbook (JNCC, 2001) and the CCW Handbook for Marine Intertidal Phase I Survey and Mapping (Wyn et al. 2006). |
