Study Description
New substrata/structures
Design and Methods
Previous studies from the site and from elsewhere (e.g., ORPC in Cobscook Bay, Horns Rev in Denmark).
Results
All new hard surfaces installed in the test site will provide surfaces for colonisation (e.g., underside of surface buoys or scaled devices, gravity bases and mooring chains etc). While colonisation of the structures will begin immediately, it is anticipated that at least 12 months will be required before a functional community has been established (i.e. individuals begin reproducing). Up to this point, structures can be removed from the site. Likelihood = High, Consequence = Negligible; Impact = Low
