The Turbine Site Area is situated 25 km east of Peterhead where the cable route will landfall. The water depth in the surveyed Export Cable Route area reaches between 1 and 98 m LAT and in the Turbine Site Area 97 to 188 m LAT. MMT was contracted in 2013 to undertake marine geophysical seabed mapping and environmental surveys of the Turbine Site Area and export cable corridor as well as a nearshore survey of the landfall. The environmental survey objective was to identify and map the extent of existing habitats and describe sensitive habitats and species or habitats and species of special conservation interest within the turbine area and cable corridor. The survey area is divided in two main parts; the Turbine Site Area with accompanied construction and anchoring areas and the Export Cable Route. The environmental data acquisition comprises of sediment sampling, photography and video recording for ground truthing the seabed and to map the existing habitats. The instruments used were grab sampler and drop down video-camera. The environmental survey started on the 23rd of August 2013 and was completed on the 1st of September.
