GB-Lowestoft: Cefas IEG data collation and GIS layers documenting and mapping the scale of existing marine cable/ scour protection and other hard substrate in UK

FOR FURTHER DETAILS DOWNLOAD THE TENDER PACKAGE AT https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/ESF44W7EVK The project requires the contractor to locate, quantify and map all anthropogenic hard protection (such as cable protection, pipeline protection, rock armouring used as scour protection, concrete mattresses etc.) in the English and Welsh marine environment (including offshore waters from territorial water boundary to the edge of the Exclusive Economic Zone), and incorporate all the information into an updatable data source with provision of GIS layers. This will enable regulators and advisors to; 1.Use the information to provide higher quality, standardised advice on impacts. 2.Compare consented and deposited volumes and locations 3.Assess movement/ migration 4.Produce an integrated GI layer of deposits from Oil & Gas (co-ordination with OPRED (Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning), telecommunications European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA) and Renewables (The Crown Estates (TCE)). 5.Plan and cost a suite of bespoke surveys to investigate 'spill-over' effect impacting adjacent soft-sediment 6.Plan surveys, or model the potential for this artificial network of hard substrate location to provide stepping stones for INNS spread etc. FOR FURTHER DETAILS DOWNLOAD THE TENDER PACKAGE AT https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/ESF44W7EVK
