The project involves collection of high resolution geophysical, benthic, and shallow geotechnical data within the lease area and along two proposed export cable routes. These data will be processed and analysed to characterise site conditions, including bathymetry, seafloor morphology, subsurface geology, environmental and biological sites, seafloor obstructions, soil conditions and archaeological resources. Atlantic Shores will use this information to design, permit and install future wind farm facilities, which could generate up to 2500MW of renewable energy for residents along the mid-Atlantic. Weather permitting, the field programme will continue through the autumn and winter.
