  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">OceanEcology Limited were commissioned by Vattenfall Wind Power Ltd to undertake a pre-construction benthic survey of the Kentish Flats Extension (KFE) area in order to provide a detailed baseline of the benthic habitats and associated macrobenthic assemblages. The survey was undertaken in June 2014 and involved single and triplicate grab sampling at 53 stations resulting in the collection of 119 sediment samples that were subject to faunal, PSD and TOC analysis. 

The resulting data underwent univariate and multivariate analysis to establish the nature of the sediments and associated macrobenthic communities distributed across the KFE area, the cable route corridor and tidal excursion.</dc:description>
