Metadata: 2007, RPS Group Ltd, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Boat-based Ornithological Report
Abstract:
In fulfilment of its FEPA license requirements ongoing monitoring is being carried out covering the two wind farm sites (Inner Dowsing and Lynn) and a control site. This project relates to the surveys carried out from July – December 2007. Eight surveys were undertaken using transects to sample bird numbers and distribution on the water and in flight. The outcomes of the survey show that red-throated divers continue only to be recorded in low density at distances greater than 5km offshore as well as common scoter. Auks were recorded in great numbers within the Lynn site during construction. The surveys concluded that construction impacts were measurable but not severe, and recommended the continuation and refinement of post-construction monitoring—particularly for sensitive and qualifying species and seasonally important populations—to inform ongoing management and mitigation, as well as to adapt survey effort in consultation with conservation authorities such as English Nature.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 28049 |
| 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 Group Ltd, Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Boat-based Ornithological Report |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Boat-based Ornithological 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. | 9034f05a-f19a-4feb-9619-839091dd14e2 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1032 |
| 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 | 2007-07-26 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-12-03 |
| 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. | The boat-based methodology is based on that recommended by COWRIE (2004)1 with a number of specified alterations listed below. The majority of surveys (7/8) were conducted using the Jubilee Intrepid (19.65m) and one survey was conducted using the Sirocco (14.5m). |
