Metadata: 2005, Coastal Fisheries Conservation and Management, Ormonde, Fish and Shellfish Resource Assessment
Abstract:
An assessment of the fish and shellfish stocks in the eastern Irish Sea. The report was prepared as a desk study which drew on information provided by the DEFRA, FSU, CEFAS, advice from NWNW SFC, published literature and the internet. Environmental Statement Appendix 7. The findings determined that while wind farm construction activities can cause localized, short-term disturbances or habitat alterations, their overall impact is minor and mitigable, particularly with appropriate scheduling and habitat management; some operational structures may even enhance local benthic biodiversity. However, long-term declines in key finfish and migratory species persist due to fishing pressures and broader ecosystem changes, necessitating continued conservation, targeted monitoring and adherence to regulatory frameworks like the Common Fisheries Policy. The studies emphasize the negligible cumulative seabed loss from development, the importance of clear scientific terminology for management, and recommend ongoing environmental monitoring, site-specific assessments, and adaptive management to mitigate ecological impacts and promote sustainable fisheries.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19507 |
| 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, Coastal Fisheries Conservation and Management, Ormonde, Fish and Shellfish Resource Assessment |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Fish and Shellfish Resource Assessment |
| 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. | d1334d6e-3a71-4973-9088-10f8eca8c801 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1762 |
| 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 | 2005-03-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-03-01 |
| 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. | In December 2003 the UK Government announced that it was to promote a second round of offshore wind-farm development. After consultation with the wind-energy industry, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) identified three strategic areas in which Round 2 developments would take place: the Thames Estuary, the Greater Wash, and the North West - an area of the eastern Irish Sea extending from North Wales to south-west Scotland east of 4ยบ W. Developments on this scale are subject to the provisions of the EU Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment, commonly known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive. An assessment of the fish and shellfish stocks in the eastern Irish Sea has been undertaken to meet the requirements of this directive. |
