Metadata: 2013, CMACS, Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm, Year 1 Post-Construction Benthic Environmental Monitoring Surveys
Abstract:
Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) was appointed by RPS Energy on behalf of Vattenfall UK to undertake post-construction benthic environmental monitoring surveys for the Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm to meet requirements of the Marine Licence for the project.The overall aim of the survey was to acquire data on benthic fauna and seabed sediments using Day Grab and drop down camera to allow comparison with baseline data collected in 2009, before wind farm constructionSediment samples were acquired using a Day grab, and underwater digital images of the seabed were also collected.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5514 |
| 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. | 2013, CMACS, Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm, Year 1 Post-Construction Benthic Environmental Monitoring 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. | dc7d841fad7efcde529a003cc0234931 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | ORM2012-01 |
| 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 | 2012-05-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-06-20 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1000 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) was appointed by RPS Energy on behalf of Vattenfall UK to undertake post-construction benthic environmental monitoring surveys for the Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm to meet requirements of the Marine Licence for the project.The overall aim of the survey was to acquire data on benthic fauna and seabed sediments using Day Grab and drop down camera to allow comparison with baseline data collected in 2009, before wind farm constructionSediment samples were acquired using a Day grab, and underwater digital images of the seabed were also collected. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey was conducted using the survey vessel ‘Aquadynamic’ operating on a 12 hour basis out of Glasson Dock, Lancaster, between May 2012 and June 2012 (Figure 4). This survey vessel and the on-board grab and camera system were also used for the 2009 survey. Aquadynamic is able to stay on position using dynamic positioning (DP) and differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) (providing sub-metre accuracy for vessel position and typically ±2m accuracy for benthic equipment deployment depending on water depth and currents). The benthic survey programme comprised: ? 24 grab sites ? 24 drop-down camera sites |
