      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>This project examines baseline monitoring surveys that were undertaken at the site of the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm.  Pre-construction baseline data were obtained over a period of 1 month (15th February to 17th March 2003).  Marine sediments were surveyed at seventeen locations using a day grab.  Particle Size analysis was carried out on each of these grab samples.  Suspended sediment monitoring was also carried out.  Benthic organisms were surveyed from three replicate samples which were obtained from the seventeen marine sediment samples.  Two hundred and eight benthic invertebrate taxa were found as well as four major biotopes.  Fishing vessels were also monitored for loss of abundance or change in distribution of their catches.  Grey seal counts are being collated to allow for any major influence of wind farm construction and/or operation to be assessed.</gco:CharacterString>

Food and Environmental Protection Act (FEPA) 1985: Part II (as amended), licence reference
31579/02/0 (as amended), issued to NWP Offshore Ltd. for the North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm.
Pre-development benthic monitoring surveys were carried out at 17 locations in and around the North
Hoyle development site on 13th and 14th September 2002. At each location three
replicate Day Grab samples were taken for analysis of benthic fauna, and a further sample was taken
for analysis of sediment.</gco:CharacterString>
