2004 - 2005, CMACS, Greater Gabbard, Characterisation of Benthic Ecology and Fish Communities

Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS) undertook a benthic sampling survey in the Southern North Sea during November/December 2004 and April/May 2005 to inform the envirnomental impact assessment for the proposed Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm. There was a suite of offshore ecological survey work comprising drop down camera survey, grab sampling and beam and otter trawling which together provide a benthic ecological characterisation of the proposed development site.
