Pelagic Ecology Impact Assessment
The key sources and types of potential pelagic ecology impact associated with the Project include
the following:
Construction Phase
- Suspended solids and dissolved oxygen in the water column resulting from:
- Sediment Dredging and anchor protection for the installation of transmission power
cable in Junk Bay using dredgers;
- Jetting for the installation of transmission power cable connecting to the section in
Junk Bay to the offshore foundation site;
- Jetting for the installation of collection power cable within the foundation site;
- Installation of foundation involving pumping out seawater from inside of the suction
caissons to the surrounding ambient water; and
Operational Phase
- Noise from turbines;
- Collision risk from Vessels;
- Electro-magnetic effects; and
- Artificial lighting.
