  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">To support the development of the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park Project (&#x2018;the Project&#x2019;), Statoil Wind Limited (SWL) is undertaking an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Part of the EIA will involve the assessment of potential impacts on intertidal ecology, related to the proposed onshore cable route options at Peterhead. To inform the EIA and to evaluate the potential for impacts on intertidal ecology, SWL has appointed Xodus Group to undertake a marine intertidal Phase 1 biotope mapping survey. 

The aim of the survey was to characterise and map baseline ecological conditions within the survey area. At the time of the survey three potential locations for bringing the export cable ashore (cable landfall) were under consideration within the intertidal survey area: one located across the mouth of the River Ugie in the north; one at the sandy bay at The Ive in the middle of the survey area; and another to the south of the survey area adjacent to the harbour sea defences.</dc:description>
