2006, CMACS, Burbo Bank, Intertidal Ecology Monitoring

This project relates to the Intertidal invertebrate sampling that was included as a condition of the Food and Environment Protection Act (FEPA) licence (Ref 31864/03/0) issued to SeaScape Energy Ltd for Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm. The survey strategy was specifically adapted to meet a request from Michael Young of English Nature (now Natural England) for additional intertidal work in relation to information provided for an appropriate assessment of cable landfall works (CMACS 2005). The methods have been designed to assess the effect of cable trenching on the intertidal invertebrates as a food resource for birds.
