Metadata: 2011, Envision, Lewis Wave Farm, Benthic Drop-down Video Survey
Abstract:
Lewis Wave Power Ltd. (LWP) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Aquamarine Power Ltd.) is seeking to develop a wave energy demonstration array off the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. As a first stage of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project, LWP commissioned Royal Haskoning Ltd. to produce an Environmental Scoping Report (Lewis Wave Power Ltd., 2011) to facilitate the identification and assessment of the potential environmental impacts associated with the project. The survey reported on here formed this field-based benthic component. Its purpose was to provide site-specific benthic data to inform an assessment of impact of the proposed development. The key objectives were to: ? Determine the distribution and abundance of marine habitats and communities within the study areas; ? Determine the substrate type at all locations sampled; ? Identify habitats or species of conservation importance.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5391 |
| 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, Envision, Lewis Wave Farm, Benthic Drop-down Video 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. | cb3fa3b9-b165-491d-aecc-1345d30c5e89 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 00029 |
| 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 | 2011-08-23 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey took place over the period 23rd - 30th August 2011. Sampling began on 24th August at the north end of the original Siadar study area, working southwards from one transect to the next. Video drops were carried out along the transects from east to west with the prevailing wind and current conditions. On Day 2 (25th August) the field work began at the southern boundary of the Labost site, moving north, again working with the wind (which had moved round to southerly - Force 2), and surface currents. After a change of survey plans in accordance with Aquamarine’s instructions, Envision concentrated on completing and extending the northern (Siadar) site. However, by the end of Saturday 27th August, the whole of both the Labost and Siadar survey areas and four additional transects, adjoining the northern boundary of the Siadar site, had been completed. Fortunately, the sea conditions had remained favourable during this time, although sea work ceased at around 3.15pm on Saturday 27th as the wind had moved round to the NW, Force 5, and was due to pick up to Force 7-8 later. Conditions were not suitable to go to sea on Sunday 28th (NW Force 7-8). Interestingly, the underwater visibility was relatively good on the first survey day (7m+), but it subsequently became poor (approximately only about 2m), due to a sharp rise in the presence of phytoplankton |
