Following a review of the data collected it was clear that there were gaps in the understanding of the distribution of waterbirds within each of the three strategic offshore wind farm areas: Thames, East Irish Sea and Greater Wash. The data is required by developers in order for them undertake a valid Environmental Impact Assessment and are also required in order to identify boundaries for potential Special Protection Areas (SPA) under the Birds Directive (79/409/EEC). In order to rectify the data gap it was decided to fulfil these inter-related needs as a single coherent aerial survey project with support from the offshore wind farm industry, Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), English Nature (EN), Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Department of Trade and Industry. In July 2004 a panel of experts from JNCC, EN, CCW, DEFRA and DTI met to identify the areas of priority and to draw up an aerial bird survey programme for 2004 and 2005 that covered the three strategic areas, plus adjoining areas identified as potentially important for birds. completed Centrica Energy Centrica plc, Millstream, Maidenhead Road Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GD United Kingdom renewables@centrica.com L&ID.DocumentControl@centrica.com http://www.centrica.com/ custodian DTI Department of Trade and Industry Project Manager N/A https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-trade-and-industry originator notPlanned Renewable Energy Lease area The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Pre-Construction monitoring The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 Bird counts Bird taxonomy-related abundance per unit area of surface SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2015-04-09 revision 88 Birds SeaDataNet Cruise Summary Report data categories 2011-12-09 revision 3 Research The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 Bird behaviour SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2016-02-17 revision 91 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx eng biota oceans 0.429574612037093 0.490668789094874 53.1235139054851 53.2139573121939 2004-10 2005-09 series This metadata file has been created by Centrica Energy for the purpose of publishing this data to the Marine Data Exchange https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/732/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
