The COWRIE 1.5 Electromagnetic Fields Review specifically considers the potential effects of electromagnetic fields generated by sub-sea power cables associated with offshore wind farm developments on electrically and magnetically sensitive marine organisms. The review was conducted jointly by the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) and Institute of Water and Environment, Cranfield University at Silsoe (CU@S). Additional input came from ECONNECT Ltd and the Centre for Intelligent Monitoring Systems (CIMS), University of Liverpool.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Throughout the course of the project there was some confusion about the term electromagnetic field and its present acronym, EMF, which has lead to inconsistencies and mistakes in documentation and discussion. Here we suggest a set of unambiguous labels based on standard electrical nomenclature relating to the different components of an electromagnetic field (EMF) field for clarity in any future publication or communication. The results of the COWRIE Phase 1 work demonstrated that the EMF emitted by industry standard AC offshore cables had a magnetic (B) field component and an induced electric (iE) field component. These EMF components were assessed as being within the range of detection by EM-sensitive aquatic species but whether any potential impact would result remained unknown. It was noted however that a number of monitoring studies for existing wind farms were underway and that these may assist in the determination of potential impact in the future. In addition, during 2003 further consents for development were issued for three strategic areas of the English/Welsh/Scottish coastal zone. |
