This report has been prepared by Subacoustech Ltd for Sea Generation (Wales) Ltd. It describes a series of measurements of background underwater noise in and around the proposed site of an array of SeaGen tidal turbine devices near the Skerries area off the coast of North Wales. Spectral analysis of the data has indicated an increase in underwater noise over a broad high frequency band from 3 kHz to 60 kHz during periods of increased tidal flow. It is thought that this noise is generated by interaction of turbulant water at the sea bed and other boundaries Scott Couch Marine Current Turbines Ltd Head of Site Development & Principal Resource Analyst 00441179577600 00441179577699 Bristol and Bath Science Park, Dirac Crescent, Emersons Green, Bristol, BS16 7FR Bristol scott.couch@siemens.com www.marineturbines.com custodian Scott Couch Marine Current Turbines Ltd Head of Site Development & Principal Resource Analyst 00441179577600 00441179577699 Bristol and Bath Science Park, Dirac Crescent, Emersons Green, Bristol, BS16 7FR Bristol scott.couch@siemens.com www.marineturbines.com distributor David Lambert Subacoustech Ltd +44 (0)1489 891849 +44 (0)8700 513060 Winchester Road Bishops Waltham Hants SO32 1AH david.lambert@subacoustech.com www.subacoustech.com originator notPlanned Offshore area of search The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Acoustic noise in the water column SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2014-10-09 revision 86 http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx restricted restricted otherRestrictions PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
