Abstract
This Section of the ES evaluates the likely significant effects of the Wind Farm on commercial fishing activities. Commercial fishing is defined as any legal fishing activity undertaken for declared taxable profit. The assessment has been undertaken by Brown and May Marine Ltd and includes an assessment of cumulative effects.
For the purpose of this assessment, commercial fisheries/fishing describes all commercial fishing activities with the exception of salmon and sea trout fisheries. Due to the distinct nature of salmon and sea trout fisheries from other commercial fisheries, they are assessed independently in this Section.
