Tender description
A Targeted Approach To Characterising EMF From Subsea Cables and Understanding Potential Impacts on Fish and Benthic Species Lot 1: The Scottish Government is seeking to award a contract to provide a targeted approach to characterising electromagnetic fields (EMF) from subsea cables and their potential impacts on fish and benthic species. The Service Provider will provide a technical but accessible review of present methods employed to characterise EMFs and their effects on species. The review will include an assessment of EMF modelling with relevant cable scenarios, methods to measure EMFs in addition to methods to assess impacts on receptive species, with a suite of associated recommendations. This contract will contribute to the overall understanding of EMF emissions and how species effects may be assessed. This is a precursor to understanding potential population level impacts. The critique of methods, and recommendations will improve subsequent efforts to experimentally assess effects on marine species and support future planning and consenting of sustainable offshore wind.
