The monopile colonisation study which will determine the colonisation on four monopile foundations in terms of dominant species and diversity and assess the rate of colonisation will be undertaken during the first appropriate weather window in spring 2013, as approved by the MMO and their advisors. The survey followed the specification set out in the TOWF Terms of Reference which were agreed with industry regulators prior to commencement of the survey. A total of 53 faunal grabs, 42 sediment samples for particle size analysis, 21 sediment samples for organic content analysis and 230 seabed images were acquired during the course of the investigation.

A 1kg sediment sample was collected and transferred into a labelled sediment pot and sealed with a secure lid, for subsequent organic matter content analysis.
