Emu Ltd was commissioned to undertake surveys of fish and shellfish species of conservation and commercial importance and of epibenthic communities as part of the pre-construction phase. Surveys took place to obtain baseline information regarding distribution and abundance of any edible mussel beds from the vicinity of the proposed wind farms. The surveys are in no way intended to be a stock assessment of the mussels in the area. The outcomes of the surveys showed edible mussels were totally absent from seven of the stations surveyed. Negligible quantities were found at a further five stations and were the result of small quantities being recorded on just one or two of the six surveys. Sites with few or no mussels were typically characterised by a sparse catch of clean cobbles and boulders.

All trawl lines were roughly aligned with the dominant tidal current flow (N-S). Co-ordinates were recorded from the vessel’s GPS of each start (dredges on bottom) and end (begin of hauling) point, along with time, heading and speed. GPS co-ordinates were based on the WGS84 datum. Survey logs and positions are included in Appendix 2. Weather, sea state and other information were also recorded as appropriate.
