Metadata: 2005, Environment Agency, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms: Baseline Description of Beach profile Measurements along the Lincolnshire Coast
Abstract:
As part of the Food and Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) Licence, an analysis of any change due to the presence of the Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms on the shore dynamics must be identified. In order to assess whether there is an effect, observations taken before and after the construction of the wind farms shall be compared. The Environment Agency (EA) currently monitors the Lincolnshire coast at 1 km intervals, twice each year (in January/February and July/August). This monitoring has been ongoing since 1991. The EA supplied these beach profile data taken along the Lincolnshire coast between 1991 and 2000 to facilitate the comparison. This project concerns these data as the baseline situation. The conclusions of the study show that the pattern of change evident from the profile measurements is highly erratic. There do not appear to be any clear trends which shown areas of constant accretion or erosion. In addition, the second Shoreline Management Plan is currently being developed for the Lincolnshire coast, and should be considered in any predicted potential changes over the life of the wind farms.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5246 |
| 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. | 2005, Environment Agency, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms: Baseline Description of Beach profile Measurements along the Lincolnshire Coast |
| 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. | b177c1f2b8cc5d529088a58a9df6d28f |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 2251 |
| 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 | 1970-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-19 |
| 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. | As part of the Food & Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) Licence, an analysis of any change due to the presence of the Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms on the shore dynamics must be identified. The Licence states: ‘Regular monitoring of beach profiles is required along the Ingoldmells to Gibraltar Point frontage (this may be already carried out at a sufficient resolution by the Environment Agency). Monitoring should be undertaken to illustrate major changes in the annual profiles, and therefore should be carried out for example in September, January and April. In addition, beach nourishment quantities/locations should be provided, to be used with these profile changes in the subsequent interpretation.’ |
