This report presents the results 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 pre- and post- construction surveys completed up until the end of November 2012 i.e. the first six full months after installation of the cable for the western cable. The report also contains the results of the first annual survey for the eastern cable. As per the agreed monitoring schedule (RSK 2011a-c), further reports will be submitted on an annual basis for the next five years up until (and including) 2016 for the eastern cable and 2017 for the western cable. The aim of the botanical survey was to compare vegetation recovery in areas crossed by tracking and trenching activities (impacted areas) with that 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 rapid walkover There will be no limitations when published on the Marine Data Exchange otherRestrictions Data Must be used in accordance to the Marine Data Exchange's Terms of Use: https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/info/terms-of-use otherRestrictions The Crown Estate +44 020 7851 5000 enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk custodian RSK Carter Ecological Limited Project Manager communications@rsk.co.uk originator The Crown Estate +44 020 7851 5000 enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk distributor Centrica Energy lincs.documentcontrol@centrica.com owner notPlanned Delimited Documents Geographic Information System https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/TCE-937/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.

The aim of this survey was to assess the impacts over time and to determine how quickly vegetation recovered.
