  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">An assessment of the noise levels which may be generated during the construction of the MORL offshore wind farm (Project 1) in the Moray Firth was carried out by CEFAS on behalf of Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd. This data series contains reports and data files, in various formats, of this assessment. Since the Environmental Statement (ES), 2012, was completed, a more detailed assessment of the engineering requirements for the piling operation has been carried out. This includes the hammer energies of noise on marine mammals at the site in light of this new information, in the context of the predictions made previously for the ES. The work presented takes into account more detailed site investigations and updated pile drivability assessment and engineering requirements. This updated underwater noise assessment is based on realistic expected worst case scenarios that have reduced significantly from those outlined in the ES. This document will highlight differences will highlight differences between this assessment and the ES and place them into context.</dc:description>
