Grab, trawl and drop-down camera surveys are reported here, while an ROV colonisation survey is reported separately. The sediment types and distributions and faunal communities within and around the Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm have generally remained reasonably similar throughout the survey programme thus far. While mud content decreased to a certain extent in 2013 compared to 2009, with some apparent effects upon faunal composition, levels were demonstrated as having returned to those recorded in 2005. When considered alongside fluctuations observed at reference stations, it seems natural variability most likely arising from storm events are attributable, rather than any effects of the construction and operation of the wind farm.
