This report presents the results of the third year of botanical monitoring surveys carried out in connection with the trenching of two cables (Nearshore Western Cable and Nearshore Eastern Cable) for the Lincs Offshore Wind Farm. It provides the survey findings for botanical monitoring completed in August 2014 for both cables. The aim of the botanical survey was to monitor vegetation recovery in areas crossed by cable installation activities (impacted areas) with vegetation in unaffected areas (control areas). The botanical monitoring consisted of a National Vegetation Classification (NVC) survey of the consent corridor; seven transects located in the main saltmarsh zones and a subjective assessment made during the walkover. These methods are outlined in the original ecology report (RSK 2011a) and approved by Natural England (NE) and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) during consultation process in 2011 (RSK 2011b, c).

Surveys were carried out by Steven Heathcote, Richard Finch and Rachel Kempson. All surveyors are experienced botanists and full members of CIEEM. Plant nomenclature, scientific and English names in this report follows Stace (2010) for vascular plants. No non-vascular plants (with the exception of alga) were recorded along the cable route. Names for vegetation communities follow the National Vegetation Classification (NVC) scheme (Rodwell 2000, 2006).
