  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This series contains the annual and monthly reports as well as the raw data for the 2012-2013 Greater Gabbard bird survey carried out as part of the 2012/2013 construction monitoring, in accordance with FEPA licence requirements.

Conditions contained in the project&#x2019;s Food and Environment Protection Act (FEPA) licence 33097/10/1 (dated 29th October, 2010), set the requirement for additional ornithological monitoring of the site, which includes the wind farm area, 1km buffers, 4km buffers and a control area, with surveys during pre-construction, construction and operation. In consultation with Natural England, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), which has replaced the Marine and Fisheries Agency (MFA), an Ornithological Monitoring Protocol (GGOWL 2007) was subsequently developed for the project. The monitoring protocol includes a programme of monthly boat-based transect surveys, following the methodology as recommended by Camphuysen et al. (2004). In addition, marine mammals were recorded as incidental sightings.</dc:description>
