  • Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions
    THE LONDON RESORT PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REPORT Appendix 13.2 Marine Ecology and Biodiversity Baseline Conditions WATER QUALITY 13.2.1. The principal water quality data sources that have been used to inform this study are: • Environment Agency (EA) WFD classification status and reporting (e.g. EA 2015); and • EA long-term water quality monitoring data for the tidal Thames. Environment Agency WFD Classification Status 13.2.2. The tidal River Thames is divided into three transitional water bodies as part of the Thames River Basin Management Plan (EA 2015) (Thames Upper [ID GB530603911403], Thames Middle [ID GB53060391140] and Thames Lower [ID GB530603911401]. Each of these waterbodies are classified as heavily modified waterbodies (HMWBs). The most recent EA assessment carried out in 2016, confirms that all three of these water bodies are classified as being at Moderate ecological potential (EA 2018). 13.2.3. The Thames Estuary at the London Resort Project Site is located within the Thames Middle Transitional water body, which is a heavily modified water body on account of the following designated uses (Cycle 2 2015-2021): • Coastal protection; • Flood protection; and • Navigation. 13.2.4. The downstream extent of the Thames Middle transitional water body is located approximately 12 km downstream of the Kent Project Site and 8 km downstream of the Essex Project Site near Lower Hope Point. Downstream of this location is the Thames Lower water body which extends to the outer Thames Estuary. 13.2.5. A summary of the current Thames Middle water body WFD status is presented in Table A13.2.1, together with those supporting elements that do not currently meet at least Good status and their associated objectives.

  • 2.19 Marine Ecology
    19 Marine Ecology 19 MARINE ECOLOGY 19.1 Introduction 19.1.1 This Chapter assesses the potential impacts of the construction and operational phases of the proposed Hinkley Point C Power Station on marine ecosystems at Hinkley Point and, where appropriate, the wider Bridgwater Bay and Severn Estuary environment. 19.2 Scope of Assessment 19.2.1 The assessment of the potential impacts has been undertaken in accordance with the methods outlined in Chapter 4, Volume 2. Available published data and grey literature have been examined which includes data derived from ongoing impingement and entrainment sampling at the current HPB Station intake screens. To secure the marine science base to support consideration of this development, both in terms of environmental assessment and appropriate engineering design, a range of investigations were instigated by British Energy under the umbrella of the British Energy Estuarine and Marine Studies (BEEMS) process, now adopted by EDF. These surveys were designed to gather baseline data across appropriate temporal and spatial scales for the key ecological components of the surrounding ecosystems. 19.2.2 The geographical extent of the area of interest for the marine ecological assessment is dependent upon the particular organism, its habits, and the type of impact considered critical for it. 19.2.3 The extent of dedicated survey and assessment effort is also dependent upon an understanding of the highly dynamic physical processes that govern the ecology of the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel (see Chapter 16). 19.2.4 The site for the proposed HPC Station is located within and adjacent to a number of international and national conservation designations that cover a range of marine ecological interests.

  • Response to Changing Oceanography in the Dove Time Series: a Northumberland Plankton Community Study
    Response to Changing Oceanography in the Dove Time Series: a Northumberland Plankton Community Study Malcolm Charles Baptie Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy School of Marine Science and Technology November 2013 Abstract The Dove Time Series is a plankton monitoring station in the Northumberland coastal sea which has been sampled since 1969. Over the 20th century, major changes have occurred in the North Sea plankton which have in part correlated with oscillation in atmospheric mass over the Northern Hemisphere, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Westerly winds when the NAO is positive phase block northern low pressure systems and transport warm Atlantic water into the North Sea extending stratification, leading to greater phytoplankton biomass. Phytoplankton biomass in the central North Sea reached a sustained higher level after 1985. Phytoplankton, zooplankton and ichthyoplankton datasets were created or extended from the Dove Time Series to study the effect of oceanographic change at this location. There was a change to a high abundance community 10 years later, in 1995. The most important predictor of phytoplankton abundance was not the NAO index, but the Atlantic Meridional Oscillation (AMO), which exhibits 60-100 year and subordinate 11 and 14 year periodicity, describing a deviation from the long term sea surface temperature (SST) mean in the North Atlantic. Phytoplankton periodicity partly matched the 14 year period in the AMO, which correlates with a feedback mechanism of westerly versus northerly wind in the North Atlantic, regulating ocean-atmosphere heat flux. Zooplankton abundance was predicted by SST and ratio of maximum to minimum abundance by phytoplankton/AMO. Oceanographic conditions that were contemporary with the state of the AMO anomaly after 1995 promoted higher spring phytoplankton abundance and neritic copepod abundance peaks.

  • The Structure of Parasite Component Communities in Brackish Water fishes of the Northeastern Baltic Sea
    471 The structure of parasite component communities in brackish water fishes of the northeastern Baltic Sea E.T.VALTONEN"*, K.PULKKINEN", R.POULIN# and M.JULKUNEN" " Department of Biological and Environmental Science, University of JyvaW skylaW , 40100 JyvaW skylaW , Finland # Department of Zoology, University of Otago, PO. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand (Received 12 June 2000; revised 19 September 2000; accepted 12 October 2000) We used nestedness analysis to seek non-random patterns in the structure of component communities of metazoan parasites collected from 31 sympatric fish species from the northeastern Bothnian Bay, the most oligohaline area of the Baltic Sea. Only 8 marine parasite species were found among the 63 species recorded, although some marine fish species reproduce in the bay and others occasionally visit the area. Marine parasite species can utilize both freshwater and marine fish species as intermediate or final hosts, and marine fish can harbour freshwater parasite species. This exchange of parasite species between marine and freshwater fish has probably resulted from ecological factors acting over short time scales rather than from evolutionary processes acting over longer time; the key factor probably being the immediate presence of suitable intermediate and definitive hosts. Marine fish were expected to harbour species-poor parasite communities consisting mainly of generalists acquired from the sympatric freshwater fish species, which would result in a nested pattern among the different component communities. However, an anti-nested pattern was found in the component communities of metazoan parasites of fishes from the Bothnian Bay. A likely explanation for the observed pattern is that there are specialist parasite species, the majority of which are cestodes, in some of the freshwater fish species which otherwise have depauperate parasite communities.

It intends to provide input for the national policy on “Building with North Sea Nature”, which aims to bolster the conservation and sustainable use of species and habitats native to the Dutch section of the North Sea. As a result of various human activities, past and present, the North Sea is currently severely impoverished, not only in terms of the decline of species, but also in terms of loss of different types of habitat, in particular hard substrate. This particularly concerns the loss of extensive beds of flat oysters, which in the nineteenth century covered a substantial surface area the North Sea, including the Dutch Continental Shelf.
