Defining Geographic Scales of Fish Species Populations for Low Carbon Energy Impact Assessments

About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to N/A for defining the geographic scale of fish species populations to support impact assessments of low carbon energy projects.

The contract, valued at £48,037.5, addresses the lack of guidance on defining geographic scales of fish populations in the marine environment for use in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Habitats Regulations Assessments (HRA), and Marine Conservation Zone assessments (MCZa).

The project aims to establish a standardised process to ensure consistency, robustness, and de-risk the consenting process for renewable energy, nuclear power, and other Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
