By using a floating structure, the installation noise is much reduced\r\nby removing the need for driven piles. However, there are likely to be noise impacts due to operation of the\r\nturbines as well as other construction activities, such as cable installation and use of vessels. At long ranges the\r\nintroduction of additional noise could potentially cause short-term behavioural changes, for example to the ability of\r\ncetaceans to communicate and to determine the presence of predators, food, underwater features and\r\nobstructions. At close ranges and with high noise source levels, permanent or temporary hearing damage might\r\noccur, while at very close range, gross physical trauma is possible.\r\nThe report in this series provides a high level overview of the potential impacts due to underwater noise from Hywind on the\r\nsurrounding environment. In particular, the report reviews the underwater noise measurements and analysis\r\npreviously undertaken by Statoil on the Hywind I demonstrator installed offshore Norway, to assess operational\r\nnoise from the turbines. The report also makes recommendations for the types of impacts identified should be\r\naddressed in the EIA in terms of marine noise.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "http://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx", "copyright: http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx" ], "temporalCoverage": "2013-07-16", "keywords": [ { "@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/M04/current/M0401/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/", "termCode": "M0401", "name": "Feasibility" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C48/current/MDG013/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/C48/current/", "termCode": "MDG013", "name": "Underwater Noise" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/NOYS/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "NOYS", "name": "Acoustic noise in the water column" }, { "@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/P14/current/GVAR0507/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P14/current/", "termCode": "GVAR0507", "name": "Marine Mammals" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P03/current/H002/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P03/current/", "termCode": "H002", "name": "Construction and structures" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P03/current/H005/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P03/current/", "termCode": "H005", "name": "Human activity" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L06/current/76/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L06/current/", "termCode": "76", "name": "fish" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/N010/4/NDGO0001", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/N01/current/NDGO0001/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/N01/current/", "termCode": "NDGO0001", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "58.9488224 3.8706105 59.5024607 5.6670101" } }, "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Crown Estate Scotland", "description": "custodian", "email": "enquiries@crownestatescotland.com", "telephone": "0131 260 6070", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Quartermile Two, 2nd Floor, 2 Lister Square", "postalCode": "EH3 9GL", "addressLocality": "Edinburgh" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Xodus Group Ltd", "description": "originator", "email": "info@xodusgroup.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "ABP Marine Environmental Research", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "enquiries@abpmer.co.uk", "telephone": "023 8071 1840", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Quayside Suite Medina Chambers, Town Quay", "postalCode": "SO14 2AQ", "addressLocality": "Southampton", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "provider": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Statoil", "description": "distributor", "email": "info@statoil.com", "telephone": "+44 (0) 203 204 3200", "faxNumber": "+44 (0) 203 204 3600", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "One Kingdom Street", "postalCode": "W2 6BD", "addressLocality": "London", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Xodus Group Ltd", "description": "originator", "email": "info@xodusgroup.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 19493 marine datasets from over 600 UK organisations.
