This is because the development could potentially have impacts upon two Special Protection Areas and, under the 1994 Habitat Regulations; Appropriate Assessments are likely to be required. Also, as they are European Protected Species, any potential impact upon cetaceans needs to be considered.\r\n\r\nAs part of Aquamarine\u2019s commitment to continuous improvement and following feedback from SNH this document reviews the existing programme of seabird and cetacean monitoring at Marwick Head in the light of the experience to date. It describes how the data collected to date will be analysed to meet the requirements of EIA and Appropriate Assessment and proposes further improvements to the existing methodologies to even better meet these requirements. Given the sensitive location of the proposed development, an extensive programme of survey and monitoring is proposed. \r\n\r\nBrough Head Wave Farm Limited (BHWFL) also commissioned one complete year of marine wildlife surveys of its Brough Head Wave Farm site. The site is located along the north-west coast of Orkney Mainland where it holds an Agreement for Lease (AfL) with the Crown Estate (Figure 1). Monthly shore-based surveys of seabirds and marine mammals using the AfL area have been conducted since April 2011 and this report (and subsequent additions) aim to characterise the marine wildlife interest of the Brough Head Wave Farm site.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "http://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "access: There will be no limitations when published on the Marine Data Exchange", "use: Data Must be used in accordance to the Marine Data Exchange's Terms of Use: https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/info/terms-of-use" ], "temporalCoverage": "2010-01-01/2011-11-01", "keywords": [ { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/GP088/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "GP088", "name": "Bird behaviour" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/CEBH/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "CEBH", "name": "Cetacean behaviour" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SEBH/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SEBH", "name": "Seal behaviour" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/FOCA/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "FOCA", "name": "Seal abundance" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/BRDD/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "BRDD", "name": "Bird taxonomy-related abundance per unit area of surface" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/CETA/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "CETA", "name": "Cetacean abundance" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/M0402/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/", "termCode": "M0402", "name": "Consenting" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/M0301/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/", "termCode": "M0301", "name": "Agreement for Lease Area" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/162/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/", "termCode": "162", "name": "Transport networks" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/32/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/", "termCode": "32", "name": "Species distribution" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "58.71738 -3.9449662 59.73775 -3.125952" }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "https://apps.epsg.org/api/v1/GeodeticCoordRefSystem/4326", "value": "WGS 84" } ] }, "author": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "SSE Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "renewablesdps@sse.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Crown Estate Scotland", "description": "custodian", "email": "enquiries@crownestatescotland.com", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 260 6070", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Xodus Group Ltd", "description": "originator", "email": "info@xodusgroup.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Craigton Ecological Services", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "craigton.ecological.services@phonecoop.coop", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "provider": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Crown Estate Scotland", "description": "distributor", "email": "enquiries@crownestatescotland.com", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 260 6070", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "SSE Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "renewablesdps@sse.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "sdPublisher": { "@type": "Organization", "url": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN)", "description": "The MEDIN portal contains information about 19548 marine datasets from over 600 UK organisations.
