LINCS OFFSHORE WIND FARM EXPORT CABLE ROUTE dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=010_40791249-4eaf-3e48-b3c4-410e720f78de Recently collected geophysical data was assessed over 28 sites subject to further investigation. The sites selected for review were located along proposed export cable routes and alternatives that may have been required following engineering assessments of the seabed character. Six of the 28 sites were removed from the list of those requiring further investigation as a result of this review. Of these, four sites were sidescan sonar anomalies for which no corresponding anomalies had been identified in the current data set. However, given the quality of the 2008 sidescan sonar data, problems with positioning and the nature of the mobile sediments within the area it may have been prudent to provide a watching brief for these sites during construction. The Exclusion Zone around site 4012 was merged with another site [3037] to create a new Exclusion Zone. It was recommended to remove the Exclusion Zone around site 6304 based on interpretation. This feature was interpreted as a possible anchor scar or fishing gear. As a result of this assessment two sites, 3037 and 6600, have had Exclusion Zones established. [Au(abr)] 20110110
