The project supports two Offshore Sub Stations (OSSs), inter-array cables (IACs) and two subsea export cables with an export cable link between the two offshore substations. ROW01 is located, at its closest point, 27 km offshore of the north Norfolk coast. The marine export cables make landfall approximately 1 km to the east of the mouth of the River Nene, within The Wash, Lincolnshire. The ROW01 array lies within the Inner Dowsing, Race Bank and North Ridge Site of Community Importance (IDRBNR SCI), and the export cable route passes through The Wash and North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation (WandNNC SAC). Both the IDRBNR SCI and WandNNC SAC are, amongst other features, designated for the presence of Annex I biogenic reefs and sandbanks which are slightly covered by seawater at all times (subtidal sandbanks).

Sediment benthos grab core 2025-11-27 revision This series has been Quality Assured so that it is compliant with the aforementioned MEDIN Guidelines and thus contains the mandatory components. In some instances, this compliance will not be feasible. True Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08T00:00:00 publication Conformity with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 was either not relevant to this dataset or not a requirement of the Marine Data Exchange for the creation and submission of this dataset; therefore, conformity has not been assessed and cannot be declared False series The post-construction benthic sampling required across the ROW01 involved sampling within three impacts zones (primary, secondary and reference), in areas adjacent to the scour protection areas and along the extent of the ECR as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below. The surveys involved collection of mini-Hamon grab samples at a total of 113 sampling stations to assess Generator asset related impacts and 34 stations to assess for Offshore Transmission related impacts. The stations were selected as a repeat of the pre-construction baseline benthic survey (Marine Space Ltd 2017), agreed previously with the MMO. A total of 12 DDV transects were also sampled to observe potential changes and recovery as a result of remedial cable burial works and cable protection, including joint pits, dredge areas, and dredge spoil disposal and temporary dredge stockpile areas. The Generator asset sampling comprised: - Twenty Five sample stations within the Primary Impact Zone (PIZ); - Twenty Five sample stations within the Secondary Impact Zone (SIZ); - Fifteen sample stations within Reference areas; - Forty Eight sample stations within Scour Protection areas; and - Four DDV transects within local levelling dredge disposal areas. The Offshore Transmission asset sampling comprised: - Thirty Four samples stations along the ECR. - Eight DDV transects within joint pit temporary stockpile areas, joint pit areas and local levelling dredge spoil disposal areas (for both cables (C1 and C2)).
