Survey Activities<br />
As part of the ongoing environmental and engineering assessment of the <strong>Hornsea</strong> Zone for offshore wind farm development, Smart <strong>Wind</strong> is<br />
undertaking a series of offshore surveys throughout 2012. This flyer provides an outline and brief description of the current and planned survey<br />
activities over the next six months.<br />
Latest Activities<br />
The MV Southern Star survey vessel will be continuing the bird and marine mammal survey Zone wide, and also at predetermined Subzone 1 and<br />
Subzone 2 transect lines. The vessel will also be undertaking an acoustic survey for marine mammals.<br />
Geotechnical investigations are currently ongoing within subzone 1 and are due to complete in October.<br />
A local commercial fishing vessel will be conducting a potting survey at three sites within the cable route survey area between October and<br />
November: West of Silver Pit, North-east of Sole Pit and within the six nm mile limit off Horseshoe Point<br />
SMart <strong>Wind</strong> are committed to both working alongside the fishermen and providing high quality baseline monitoring data on the fisheries within the<br />
vicinity of the development. All efforts to support the provision of this data would be gratefully appreciated.<br />
