2009, COWRIE, Coastal Process Modelling for Offshore Wind Farm Environmental Impact Assessment

Description

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 Impact Assessment. It provides guidance on the requirements for numerical modelling and how to assess the extent and quality of any numerical modelling work proposed and undertaken.
