Environmental Statement Appendix 6. Key findings revealed diverse communities dominated by Amphiura filiformis, cumaceans, molluscs, polychaetes, and various macrofauna and flora, with ecological richness associated with both natural and artificial structures. The studies concluded that windfarm construction would cause temporary disturbance but principal communities were likely to recover within three years, with minimal permanent seabed loss and potential for new communities to develop on turbine structures. Recommendations emphasised the importance of ongoing monitoring, careful restoration of disturbed habitats, improved methodologies for species identification, and focused management of high-biodiversity and conservation-sensitive zones; the studies provided crucial baseline data to inform ongoing ecological impact assessment and site management.

One survey was conducted by Gardline and additional sites later surveyed by Unicomarine. Trawls, Day grabs, cores and qualitative samples were collected for macrofaunal analysis and associated samples were collected for particle size analysis (PSA).
