Metadata: 2002 - 2004, Environmentally Sustainable Systems Ltd. (ESS), Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Ornithological Monitoring
Abstract:
This project relates to the ornithological monitoring that took place at the offshore wind farms of Lynn and Inner Dowsing in the pre-construction phase. The purpose of the monitoring work at Lynn and Inner Dowsing is to fulfil the objectives provided in Annex 2 of the Schedule to FEPA Licence Nos.31792/03/1. Boat based and aerial surveys were conducted between November 2002 and April 2004. The goal of the project is threefold: 1. Assess changes in usage of area by feeding birds and birds on passage 2. Assess collision risk prior to construction of the wind farm and investigate techniques/methodologies for collecting data on actual collisions during and post construction. 3. Survey benthos to inform reasons for possible changes in bird distribution and density on site. The overall conclusion is that the Lynn and Inner Dowsing windfarms pose minimal threat to bird populations or SPA integrity, provided continued vigilance and methodological improvements are pursued.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 29911 |
| 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. | 2002 - 2004, Environmentally Sustainable Systems Ltd. (ESS), Lynn and Inner Dowsing, Ornithological Monitoring |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Ornithological Monitoring |
| 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. | eaffc03e-f692-4459-bbfc-febf414f4173 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1028 |
| 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 | 2002-11-04 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2004-04-15 |
| 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. | This report is an annex to the Environmental Statements (ES) prepared by AMEC Wind Energy and Offshore Wind Power Ltd in connection with the development of offshore wind farms at Lynn and Inner Dowsing off the Lincolnshire coast. The report addresses a number of issues raised by the Centre for Fisheries, Environment and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), the Environment Agency and English Nature with respect to the influence that the wind farm developments may have on the coastal processes. |
