Benthic Ecology Impact Assessment
Two key sources of potential impact upon the marine benthic community have been identified
during project construction:
No adverse impact is predicted during the operational phase. The presence of the turbine
foundations at the wind farm area will provide an artificial habitat for potential colonisation by
benthic epifauna.
The above menus give a summary of the EIA key findings. For the full EIA please follow the link

Two key sources of potential impact upon the marine benthic community have been identified
during project construction:
- Direct impacts on the project ‘footprint’ from the installation of project components resulting
in temporary or permanent loss of seabed habitat.
- Induced impacts through deteriorating water quality during installation of project upon
sessile benthic epifauna.
No adverse impact is predicted during the operational phase. The presence of the turbine
foundations at the wind farm area will provide an artificial habitat for potential colonisation by
benthic epifauna.
