Part of the EIA will involve the assessment of potential impacts on intertidal ecology, related to the proposed onshore cable route options at Peterhead. To inform the EIA and to evaluate the potential for impacts on intertidal ecology, SWL has appointed Xodus Group to undertake a marine intertidal Phase 1 biotope mapping survey. The aim of the survey was to characterise and map baseline ecological conditions within the survey area. At the time of the survey three potential locations for bringing the export cable ashore (cable landfall) were under consideration within the intertidal survey area: one located across the mouth of the River Ugie in the north; one at the sandy bay at The Ive in the middle of the survey area; and another to the south of the survey area adjacent to the harbour sea defences.

(2000). This method is a standardised system of surveying and mapping littoral habitats. It is a rapid survey technique designed to produce illustrative maps of biotope distribution. The methodology advises that surveys are undertaken between April and October and during spring tides to offer the most complete results in terms of both the amount of growth on the shore and the extent of the intertidal exposed during low tide periods. Biotope mapping of soft sediments within the survey area was not included within the survey scope. These areas are, however, indicated on the biotope map as appropriate.
