Metadata: 2013, IECS, Zone 3 - Dogger Bank, Teesside Landfall Intertidal and Benthic Survey
Abstract:
The Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS) was commissioned by Forewind Ltd to carry out a Phase 1 biotope survey of the intertidal zone located between the towns of Redcar and Marske-by-the-Sea, Tees estuary, Teesside. This area has been identified as a preferred landfall location for export cables, with the ultimate aim of connecting offshore wind farms off the Teesside coastline to the National Grid. The intertidal survey was completed as part of the development of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) required from Forewind Ltd to continue with the proposal to use this area as a landfall site.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS) was commissioned by Forewind Ltd to carry out a Phase 1 biotope survey of the intertidal zone located between the towns of Redcar and Marske-by-the-Sea, Tees estuary, Teesside.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey was undertaken in a single deployment from 21st- 22nd September 2013, during spring tides in order to maximise the extent of the intertidal area exposed at low tide. Two teams each comprising two IECS surveyors carried out the survey on foot, having each agreed upon the terms of the identification process and undertaking the first transect together, therefore eliminating any discrepancies in the survey approach and results. Mapping was carried out according to the Common Standards Monitoring Guidance littoral sediment and Procedural Guideline 3.1 of the Marine Monitoring Handbook (Wyn et al., 2006). A total of 54 samples were collected across the six transects. This included at least 1 spade sample taken from the approximate centre of each biotope area, as well as vials of any algae taken from hard surfaces. Once transported to the laboratory, the infaunal samples were removed from the IMS, in accordance with H&S procedures, and sorted. Macrofauna extracted from the samples were identified to species level were possible using standard taxonomic keys, low and high power stereoscopic microscopes and dissection (where applicable). |
