Metadata: 2009, Subacoustech Environmental Ltd., Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Monitoring of underwater noise from impact piling operations at the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm during herring spawning season
Abstract:
This project has been undertaken by Subacoustech Environmental Ltd for DONG Energy. It describes a series of underwater noise measurements at the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm site during installation of monopile foundations. Herring are known to spawn in the Blackwater River region to the west of the wind farm site and some concerns over the potential impact that the underwater noise might have on migrating and spawning herring were raised. The primary aim of the measurements was to measure the levels of underwater noise from impact piling operations at a location where herring had been found to be spawning on the same day. This would enable cause and effect to be established.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5684 |
| 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. | 2009, Subacoustech Environmental Ltd., Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Monitoring of underwater noise from impact piling operations at the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm during herring spawning season |
| 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. | f9dfe389921f5e2a8bdc90882f31df68 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4806 |
| 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 | 2009-02-11 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-03-13 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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. | The primary aim of the measurements was to measure the levels of underwater noise from impact piling operations at a location where herring had been found to be spawning on the same day. This would enable cause and effect to be established. Ideally this would have involved carrying out a trawl for herring, and immediately after successfully finding spawning herring, measuring the levels of noise at that location. The process would then have been repeated at another location. However, due to the limited period of time each pile took to install this method was not feasible. The underwater noise monitoring locations were therefore chosen following discussions with Brown and May Marine and were dependent on where spawning herring had been found during the previous weeks survey, and also where it was believed the herring would be during the current survey. |
