2004, Ecologic, Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, Passive Acoustic Monitoring for Porpoises, Fieldwork and Preliminary Analysis

Description

This study was conducted by Ecologic UK Ltd to survey the extent of porpoise populations in the area of the proposed wind farm.  The methods employed were passive visual and acoustic surveys.  Findings suggested significant numbers of marine mammals in the area but weather conditions and facilities were too poor for small cetacean surveys to be carried out effectively.  The Fieldwork and Preliminary Analysis Report is provided within this series.
