About
Scottish Government awarded a contract to APEM Ltd for the analysis of 54 marine sediment grab samples for infauna abundance and biomass, and 10 marine sediment samples for Particle Size Analysis.
The output data will feed into a wider project comparing different sampling techniques used at offshore wind farm sites to optimise benthic survey designs.
This work supports the deployment of offshore renewable technology, including the ScotWind leasing round, individual project-level EIAs, and the Scottish Government's Net Zero ambitions while protecting the marine environment.
The contract value is £39,718.
