About

Scottish Government awarded a contract to Aquatera Ltd for the review of benthic monitoring designs and provision of recommendations for a standardised approach to benthic monitoring at offshore renewable development sites in Scottish waters.

The contract, valued at £46,488, focuses on ScotWind and the Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) leasing rounds, including wave and tidal energy developments where reasonable.

The scope includes reviewing existing benthic monitoring approaches and guidance, considering survey techniques such as emerging technologies and analytical methods, and assessing the most effective monitoring design with consideration of spatio-temporal scales to recommend a standard approach.

This work contributes to the planning, consenting, and assessment processes for ScotWind and INTOG developments.
