Fisheries Impact Assessment
The potential impacts on fisheries during Project construction are:
- A decline in water quality associated with dredging, jetting and / or foundation installation.
- An increase hazard to fishing vessels due to increase in construction vessel movements;
and
- Temporary loss of fishing ground due to necessary construction activity.
The operation of the wind farm project will not induce any water quality impacts. Potential impacts
on commercial fisheries lie in:
- Potential hazard to fishing vessels;
- Permanent loss of fishing ground, and
- Potential for fisheries enhancement in the wind farm area.
