Emu Limited was commissioned by Centrica Renewable Energy Limited (CREL) to undertake the following surveys:\r\n\u2022 A survey of benthic habitats across two site options for the proposed Lincs Offshore Wind Farm. \r\n\u2022 A survey of benthic habitats along two potential export power cable routes into Skegness. \r\nThe objectives of the survey were to identify the main habitats and associated benthic communities in the area with particular emphasis on the establishment of any areas of high sensitivity that may comprise of the biogenic reef formed by the polychaete worm Sabellaria spinulosa.\r\nThe data given in this report is, therefore, based primarily on the output of the benthic survey, with the AGDS\r\nand other geophysical data provided separately in Emu (2005).\r\nTwenty benthic grab sites were investigated for the sediment particle size and faunal composition with 6 sites investigated for contaminants. The majority of sites were sand based, with mixtures of varying amounts of silt and gravel, the most frequently occurring type being Silty, Gravelly Sand. Several gravel based sediments were also recorded.\r\nOf the contaminants only the metal, Arsenic, exceeded recognized Threshold Effects Level value at all sites,\r\nalthough the values were well below the Probable Effects Level. Some exceedance of the TEL values occurred for Silver and Nickel also, but none were near the PEL.\r\nA total of 151 macro-invertebrate species were recorded. Sabellaria was sampled by the Hamon grab at several sites and in some cases in considerable abundance. This feature may constitute EC Habitats Directive biogenic reef habitat. Sabellaria spinulosa reef is also a UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP) Habitat.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "http://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "no conditions apply" ], "temporalCoverage": "2005-06-08/2005-06-10", "keywords": [ { "@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" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P23/current/MD002/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P23/current/", "termCode": "MD002", "name": "Marine Biodiversity" }, { "@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.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P141/4/GVAR0079", "name": "Benthic Habitat" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P141/4/GVAR0170", "name": "Contaminants" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P141/4/GVAR0515", "name": "Metals" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/L051/38/50", "name": "sediment grabs" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P220/1/31", "name": "Habitats and biotopes" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/P131/4/GTER0066", "name": "Marine Sediments" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/M030/1/M0301", "name": "Agreement for Lease Area" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/M030/1/M0309", "name": "Offshore Cable Corridor" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/S060/0/S0600004", "name": "Biomass" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/term/A030/1/Fauna", "name": "Fauna" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "53.164480450937 0.44765720155553 53.271317239598 0.52389494189844" }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84", "value": "urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:4326" } ] }, "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Centrica Renewable Energy Limited", "description": "custodian", "email": "renewables.documentcontrol@centrica.com", "telephone": "01753 492188", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Millstream East 1st Floor, Maidenhead Road", "postalCode": "SL4 5GD", "addressLocality": "Windsor", "addressRegion": "Berkshire", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Fugro EMU Ltd - Head Office", "description": "originator", "email": "marketing@fugroemu.com", "telephone": "01489 860050", "faxNumber": "01489 861051", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1 Mill Court, The Sawmills", "postalCode": "SO32 2EJ", "addressLocality": "Southampton", "addressRegion": "Hampshire", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Centrica Renewable Energy Limited", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "renewables.documentcontrol@centrica.com", "telephone": "01753 492188", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Millstream East 1st Floor, Maidenhead Road", "postalCode": "SL4 5GD", "addressLocality": "Windsor", "addressRegion": "Berkshire", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Fugro EMU Ltd - Head Office", "description": "originator", "email": "marketing@fugroemu.com", "telephone": "01489 860050", "faxNumber": "01489 861051", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1 Mill Court, The Sawmills", "postalCode": "SO32 2EJ", "addressLocality": "Southampton", "addressRegion": "Hampshire", "addressCountry": "United Kingdom" } } ], "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.
