Metadata: 2004, EMU, Kentish Flats, Monitoring Programme Fisheries Surveys
Abstract:
As part of the monitoring programme stipulated within the FEPA Licence for the construction of a 129MW offshore wind farm on the Kentish Flats, Thames Estuary, fish monitoring surveys are required as little is known about the potential effects of wind farms in terms of enhancing or aggregating fish populations. Advice detailed in Annex I of the FEPA Licence (Licence 31780/03/0) for the Kentish Flats Wind Farm states that ‘adequate pre-construction baseline and post-construction surveys of fish populations in the area of the wind farm’ need be undertaken. Three surveys were programmed to be undertaken pre-construction with seasonal fish monitoring surveys undertaken following commissioning of the wind farm over a period of approximately 12 months encompassing the projected first operational year of the wind farm.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19321 |
| 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. | 2004, EMU, Kentish Flats, Monitoring Programme Fisheries Surveys |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Monitoring Programme Fisheries Surveys |
| 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. | b1bdb6a9-d41d-44c5-8497-8f01e1b4cf6a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-780 |
| 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 | 2004-04-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004-08-09 |
| 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 trawl sampling of fish, was completed in accordance with the proposed methods described in the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm Specifications for Monitoring Studies document (Emu Ltd., 2004). The aim of the trawling exercises was to obtain baseline information regarding seasonal fish populations (both pelagic and demersal) from the vicinity of the proposed Kentish Flats offshore wind farm site. The baseline data will then be used for assessment of potential scheme effects following subsequent post construction trawl sampling surveys. |
