  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Burbo Offshore Wind Farm is a twenty-five turbine, 90MW development located in Liverpool Bay approximately 6km from the coastlines of Wirral, Crosby and Liverpool. The benthic (seabed) monitoring programme consists of surveys by grab sampling and beam trawling (the latter providing information on demersal fish as well as epibenthic invertebrates and being reported separately). The benthic survey programme has been undertaken by Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) on behalf of SeaScape. The programme commenced with baseline (pre-construction) surveys in autumn 2005. The report in this series presents the results of the benthic grabs carried out in autumn 2009, more than two years after completion of major construction activities, and considers results of all four surveys (baseline, during construction and two post-construction) in relation to the potential effects of wind farm construction and operation on benthic environmental receptors.</dc:description>
