Summary

Marine Ecological Surveys Limited (MESL) was commissioned by Vattenfall and Haskoning UK Ltd on behalf of Thanet Offshore Wind Ltd (TOWL) to undertake a post‐construction monitoring survey of benthic resources at Thanet Offshore Wind Farm (TOWF).

The monopile colonisation study which will determine the colonisation on four monopile foundations in terms of dominant species and diversity and assess the rate of colonisation will be undertaken during the first appropriate weather window in spring 2013, as approved by the MMO and their advisors.

The survey followed the specification set out in the TOWF Terms of Reference which were agreed with industry regulators prior to commencement of the survey. A total of 53 faunal grabs, 42 sediment samples for particle size analysis, 21 sediment samples for organic content analysis and 230 seabed images were acquired during the course of the investigation.
