Metadata: 2008, BioConsult SH, Methodologies for measuring and assessing potential changes in marine mammal behaviour, abundance or distribution arising from the construction, operation and decommisioning of offshore windfarms
Abstract:
The report in this series reviews methodologies for measuring and assessing potential changes in marine mammal behaviour, abundance or distribution arising from the construction, operation and decommissioning of offshore windfarms. The report first describes impacts from offshore windfarms on marine mammals and defines the spatial and temporal scope of investigations in order to detect impacts on marine mammals. Impacts from offshore windfarming occur at very different spatial and temporal scales: Construction work, especially pile driving, may result in short-termed but long ranged impacts, whereas the operation of windfarms is expected to result in local but long-lasting impacts. The report reviews the standard methods used in studies on marine mammals in relation to offshore windfarms. Statistical power of line transect surveys using aircrafts and ships and Static Acoustic Monitoring using T-PODs is analysed from datasets obtained in German studies.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5044 |
| 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. | 2008, BioConsult SH, Methodologies for measuring and assessing potential changes in marine mammal behaviour, abundance or distribution arising from the construction, operation and decommisioning of offshore windfarms |
| 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. | 8f2e4fc0-816e-4ec6-908d-c601190a5247 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 3225 |
| 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 | 2026-04-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-17 |
| 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. | In order to assess the methodologies for measuring and assessing potential changes of marine mammal behaviour and abundance COWRIE has commissioned BioConsult SH and the German Oceanographic Museum to conduct a desk-based study that will aim to: Describe in detail the methodologies available for assessing the impacts (or lack of impacts) on marine mammals during the construction, operation and decommissioning of offshore windfarms. The report should aim to describe a variety of methodologies in detail and indicate the benefits and difficulties of each methodology in order to be able to assess their relative benefit. An estimate of the relative costs of implementing methodologies should also be provided. The objectives of the project are to: Indicate a practical, statistically robust and cost effective methodology (or choice of methodologies) using evidence based reasoning that will provide evidence of the impacts (or lack of impacts) of construction, operation and decommissioning of offshore windfarms on marine mammals. If applicable, identify areas where further research or development of methodologies is required due to a current lack of adequate information. |
