TY - RPRT TI - Recommendations for the Presentation and Content of Interim Marine Bird, Mammal, and Basking Shark Survey Reports for Marine Renewable Energy Development AU - Scottish Natural Heritage AB - We recommend that site characterisation survey reports for proposed wave, tidal and offshore wind renewable energy developments meet the minimum standards set out below. Reports should be concise – presenting key information from surveys. They should also be clear – supported by maps, figures and tables that are easy to understand. The recommendations in this document apply to the results from boat based, aerial (including digital), or vantage point surveys from land.Interim survey reports should provide information on data collection and analysis, and species observed within the survey area. Unless agreed otherwise, interim survey reports should not include detailed impact assessments, mitigation and monitoring methods.The timeline for submission of interim survey reports should be agreed with Marine Scotland (MS).
