Metadata: 2011, University of Plymouth, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Seabird Tagging Survey
Abstract:
MORL has commissioned seabird tagging and tracking work to collect data on seabirds in order to inform the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Round 3 Zone 1 Offshore Wind Farm development in the Moray Firth. The objectives of the scope of work are: - Identify linkages between specific seabird colonies and the site. - Estimate species-specific/site-specific foraging distances/locations for adult seabirds. - Provide information on the frequency of use of the site by individual adult seabirds for the species and locations selected. provide information on foraging locations by adult seabirds that can be used for habitat association modelling, and - To apply dyes to a larger sample of suitable target species, to allow re-sightings of individuals from ongoing boat-based surveys.ES Section - MORL (2012) ES, Volume 10, Appendix 4.5 C

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19328 |
| 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. | 2011, University of Plymouth, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Seabird Tagging Survey |
| 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. | b2ac26b0-4cf0-4d9a-bd40-ff08276e0b6e |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-346 |
| 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 | 2011-05-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-07-29 |
| 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. | Although the team does not have direct experience of assessing the impact of wind-farms on marine birds, they have been involved with other work relating to assessing the potential impacts of marine renewables. Work is currently underway investigating the potential impacts (both positive and negative) of the Wave Hub development in Cornwall, in collaboration with the University of Exeter. As well as on-going tracking work to determine the extent of site use by seabirds, this project involves the collection of detailed boatbased surveys to examine for any potential impacts during and following the construction of Wave Hub. |
