  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Narec offshore monitoring station. Two options for the offshore monitoring station as part of the Demonstrator site for the draft turbine locations shapefile. 
 
 The monitoring station will consist of an offshore platform on top of a foundation (likely to be a monopile), and the platform will house anemometer equipment to monitor wind resource and radar equipment to monitor ornithological use of the area, a marine traffic radar, marine mammal acoustic monitors and monitoring equipment to validate metocean studies. The monitoring station will be used to gather baseline information to inform the Environmental Impact Assessment (in addition to traditional survey methodologies), and as such will be the subject of a separate planning application to that of the demonstrator scheme itself. Subject to a planning consent, the monitoring station will be installed by the end of March 2011.</dc:description>
