  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">In May 2012 EGS (International) Ltd was contracted to undertake a pre-construction
 geophysical and bathymetric survey of the export cable route of the future Walney Extension
 (WOW03) windfarm site. The surveyed areas were located 22-30 km north-northwest of
 Walney Island, UK. Survey operations were carried out in three distinct locations; Block 1
 and two separate cable routes String 2 and String 3. The survey was a Part 1 Consent and
 Environmental survey, data gathered for which is anticipated to lead to consent for grab
 sampling at the proposed sites.
 EGS conducted a high-frequency Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) bathymetric survey,
 combined with side-scan sonar (SSS), magnetometer and seismic sub-bottom systems. A
 pole-mounted Kongsberg HiPAP 351P/5 USBL was used for accurate sub-surface positioning
 of the towed instruments.</dc:description>
