COWRIE previously published guidelines for ship and aerial survey of marine birds for offshore windfarm assessments (Camphuysen et al. 2004). The purposes of the current review are fourfold: a. to assess the extent to which these recommendations have been followed; b. to identify any differences...
This report provides an update to existing best practice guidance on the application and use of numerical models to predict the potential impact from offshore wind farms on coastal processes. It provides guidance on the scoping and design stages of the coastal processes part of an Environmental Impa...
The report in this series describes design-based and model-based estimates of abundance for a group of seabirds who reside in large aggregations (scoters) and another group of seabirds that are less consistently clumped (‘gulls’) from three types of aerial surveys in Carmarthen Bay. Each type of sur...
The aim of this project is to develop written guidance for developers to assist in the process of the assessment of cumulative impacts of wind farms on bird populations. The project, managed by a steering group, determined that the guidance should be based on scientific principles, recommend meth...
The aim of this report was to review trials if high definition imagery tehnology in the monitoring and assessment of bird numbers at offshore sites, and produce recommendations and protocols on its use alongside existing survey methodology, notably in light of its possible use in surveying round 3 w...
This COWRIE report updates the Desholm et al. (2005) document on the use of remote techniques for ornithlogical monitoring for offshore windfarm studies. However, Desholm et al. (2005) did not provide offshore windfarm developers with clear and practical guidance on the ‘best practice’ applicati...
Data collected during a post construction survey at Gunfleet Sands offshore windfarm in 2009. The survey was carried out by CT Offshore to determine the impacts of scour at every wind turbine position.
The report includes a wide range of surveys (among seabed morphology, cable burial, ornithology and benthic organisms) undertaken in the second year of wind farm operation between August 2008 and July 2009.
On behalf of SeasScape Energy, Osiris Marine Services Ltd were commissioned to conduct maintenance inspection dives of Burbo Bank wind farm (including cathodic protection, scour protection, J-tube integrity and marine growth). Following requests by CEFAS and Natural England (statutory consultees), t...
Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) was appointed by SeaScape Energy Ltd in April 2005 to develop and undertake pre and during construction environmental monitoring to meet the requirements of the Food and Environment Protection Act (FEPA) licence issued to the wind farm developer. The...
