In 2004, Marine Current Turbines Ltd (MCT) identified the Narrows of Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland as their preferred location for the deployment of the SeaGen device. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was undertaken by Royal Haskoning, and completed in June 2005 with the production of an Environmental Statement (ES). Based on the consultation responses and requirements of EU Directives and Northern Ireland environmental legislation, a conditional FEPA marine construction licence was issued to MCT on 15 December 2005. Subsequent variations of the licence have taken into account the increased scientific knowledge built up through the ongoing monitoring program and the adaptive management approach adopted by MCT. The issue of the licence required MCT to establish an Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) and a number of mitigation measures. Data collection began, pre-installation, in April 2005 and formed the basis of an Environmental Baseline Report, against which all future monitoring during installation, commissioning and decommissioning could be compared.The results from each of monitoring strands of the EMP were evaluated regularly to ensure that any impact of SeaGen on the marine environment in Strangford Lough could be detected at an early stage. Using an adaptive management approach, the data collected has provided evidence to support reduction in mitigation requirements. A variety of reports are included in this series, including baseline, updates and final.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2005-2010, Royal Haskoning, SeaGen Strangford Lough, Environmental Monitoring Programme |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | f41e245a-0e5a-4bd1-b57e-f825953d58b3 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | SL_4 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
