Abstract
This report summarises the first year of the PrePARED project, a project jointly funded by the Crown Estates and Crown Estates Scotland. The report is broken down into the workstreams, workpackages and tasks of the project. The report has been written by all PrePARED task leaders, and edited by Marine Scotland. A table assesses progress against each quarterly target of the project using a traffic light system, where green indicates a target which was achieved or is ongoing, amber a target that is ongoing but has been delayed, and red a target that was missed. All missed targets have mitigation measures described in the text. Other tables summarise the field work undertaken within the project, the meetings held or attended, the presentations made and the communications issued. Recruitment of new staff and students is also listed. A glossary at the end of the report explains all acronyms used. Section 3 presents a brief summary of the year for all tasks, while Section 4 goes into the details of project delivery.
