Metadata: 2012, Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS), Zone 3 - Dogger Bank, Teesside Landfall: Intertidal and Phase 1 Biotope Survey
Abstract:
The Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS) was commissioned by Forewind Ltd to carry out a Phase 1 biotope survey of the intertidal zone located between the towns of Redcar and Marske-by-the-Sea, Tees estuary, Teesside. This area has been identified as a preferred landfall location for export cables, with the ultimate aim of connecting offshore wind farms off the Teesside coastline to the National Grid. The intertidal survey was completed as part of the development of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) required from Forewind Ltd to continue with the proposal to use this area as a landfall site.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS) was commissioned by Forewind Ltd to carry out a Phase 1 biotope survey of the intertidal zone located between the towns of Redcar and Marske-by-the-Sea, Tees estuary, Teesside. This area has been identified as a preferred landfall location for export cables, with the ultimate aim of connecting offshore wind farms off the Teesside coastline to the National Grid. The intertidal survey was completed as part of the development of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) required from Forewind Ltd to continue with the proposal to use this area as a landfall site. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The survey was undertaken in a single deployment on 17th – 19th September 2012, during spring tides in order to maximise the extent of the intertidal area exposed at low tide. Two teams each comprising two IECS surveyors carried out the survey on foot, having each agreed upon the terms of the identification process and undertaking the first transect together, therefore eliminating any discrepancies in the survey approach and results. Mapping was carried out according to the Common Standards Monitoring Guidance littoral sediment and Procedural Guideline 3.1 of the Marine Monitoring Handbook. A total of 41 samples were collected along the six transects. Once transported to the laboratory, the infaunal specimens were removed from the IMS, in accordance with H&S procedures, and processed. Macrofauna were identified to species level were possible using standard taxonomic keys, low and high power stereoscopic microscopes and dissection (where applicable). |
