2010, EMU, Wave Hub Test Centre, Pre-construction Benthic Ecology Survey series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_d461c5e4-4b3f-4d46-995c-761c5e9383aa Emu Ltd. were commissioned by the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA), under management by Halcrow Group Ltd., to supervise a baseline benthic ecology survey at the Wave Hub deployment site and associated sub-sea export cable. The survey was undertaken to meet Wave Hub’s pre-construction obligations under the Food & Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) (1985), to acquire information as part of a wider survey campaign, and to make suggestions to establish a programme of environmental monitoring. An interim survey report was presented in June 2010 outlining field data acquisition methods used during the Wave Hub survey together with preliminary field observations derived from grab sampling and seabed video. The purpose of the survey was to build on previous data acquired and reported on by Fugro Survey Ltd, undertaken in October 2005, and a repeat survey with revisions by Precision Marine Survey Ltd in May 2006. The initial Fugro survey was a more extensive analysis of the area than either of the subsequent surveys, incorporating 30 grab stations for faunal analysis, Particle Size Distribution (PSD), Total Organic Carbon Analysis (TOC), 18 video transects analysed for the application of biotope codes and 20 beam trawls. 20110207
