Metadata: 2017, Marine Space, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Pre-Construction Benthic Baseline Report
Abstract:
MarineSpace Ltd was commissioned by Dong Energy RB (UK) Limited (DONG Energy) to plan, manage and report on a benthic baseline survey prior to construction of the Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm in order to fulfil the requirements of Marine Licence L/2012/00217 and provide a robust baseline to measure the potential environmental impacts of the works. Precision Marine Survey Ltd (PMSL) carried out the survey work and undertook analysis of subsequent biological and seabed sediment samples. This document presents the pre-construction benthic baseline monitoring survey results which will form a robust baseline for comparison with subsequent post-construction benthic monitoring surveys. This report fulfils the requirements of Marine Licence L/2012/00217/12.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19360 |
| 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. | 2017, Marine Space, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Pre-Construction Benthic Baseline 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. | b2f98f2c-b42b-4dbc-acf6-e2152a3e0c4b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-3543 |
| 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 | 2017-01-16 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-01-16 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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 grab methodology was based on guidance provided by ‘Procedural Guideline No. 3-9 – Quantitative sampling of sublittoral sediment biotopes and species using remote operated grabs’ included in the JNCC Marine Monitoring Handbook March 2001 (Davies et al., 2001). Reference was also made to Guidelines for conduct of benthic studies at aggregate extraction sites (Ware and Kenny, 2011). The parameters measured were: • Particle size analysis (PSA) in accordance with BS 1377 (Part 2: 9.2 / 9.4); and • Benthic analysis, using a National Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control scheme (NMBAQC) participating laboratory. |
