Previously 15 months of boat-based surveys for marine mammals and seabirds had been carried out by Hull University and RPS during 2007-2008. SMRU Ltd were contracted to conduct a further 12 months of surveys which started in August 2010. This report presents data on the distribution of sightings and acoustic detections of marine mammals and sightings of seabirds from the 12 surveys which took place between August 2010 and August 2011.

The north survey area overlapped with the areas surveyed previously during Year 1 data collection (Figure 2). Surveys commenced in August 2010, but due to adverse weather conditions and timing of other activity within the site (e.g. a geophysical survey), a survey in every month was not possible.
