A specific Marine Mammal Monitoring Protocol was adopted to ensure no marine mammals were within 500 metres of the pile during the 30 minutes preceding the start of piling. Acoustic mitigation monitoring data was collected for 85 hours and visual mitigation monitoring data was collected for 82 hours. Recommendations are made for the improvement of the protocol and soft start procedures - including a refining of the soft start procedure and the use of acoustic deterrent devices during night time starts.

RPS was contracted to undertake an acoustical monitoring survey to identify natural and piling noise in the water column. The effects of this noise on native marine mammals (porpoises, seals etc) was then investigated. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/1033/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
