Description

The proposed project is a scoping exercise to assess existing and potential future environmental impacts of the Covid-19 virus in the Falkland Islands. 
 Key activities will be to:
 - Investigate Covid-19 environmental risks and impacts (positive/negative) including impacts on Government/NGO ability to undertake environmental management programmes and including the use of social surveys in partnership with FIG; 
- Identify Covid-19 related environmental metrics, indicators and monitoring protocols, and the use of information management systems to collate and report on data collected; 
- Share results of the work with other UK Overseas Territories through a workshop at the end of the project.
The Covid pandemic has, to date, had limited direct public health impacts in the Falklands but the islands have experienced other significant effects, including reduced access to imported foodstuffs, economic impacts through lack of access to markets for agriproducts and inability of fisheries vessels to land. 
The proposed project is a scoping exercise to assess existing and potential future impacts and how to measure and monitor these impacts.

Guidance for when undertaking noise impact assessments for pile driving in the marine environment

To develop and produce guidance for industry to undertake underwater noise risk assessments for pile-driving operations in the UK, focussed on the risk of injury to marine mammals and fish. To meet the offshore renewable energy targets set out by the UK government and devolved administrations, a substantial increase in the number and size of offshore wind farms will be required. This, in turn, may result in a considerable increase in the amount of impact piling being carried out within UK waters (including English, Welsh, Scottish, N.Irish, inshore and offshore). Piling can be used for the installation of both fixed and floating windfarms and well as other structures such as harbour pontoons, and involves forcing a supporting or retaining structure into the seabed using a hydraulic hammer. To meet the overall aim of this project (Section 2), the objectives are: 4.1. Review key publications relating to underwater noise risk assessments of piling noise (e.g. source characterisation, sound propagation, sound exposure modelling and criteria) summarising new findings as well as recommended methods for improving noise risk assessments of the risk of injury to marine mammals and fish from piling. 4.2. Based on the outputs of Objective 1, develop detailed guidance for assessing the risk of injury to marine mammals and fish posed by piling noise in UK waters. 4.3. Discussion of potential further improvements to noise risk assessments that may be possible to implement in piling assessments in the short to medium term. Available budget The total value of this project is £60,000 (GBP) including VAT If interested in this project potential bidders are invited to download the following documents and complete the conflict of interest form and the acceptance form of our terms and conditions attached to the invitation to tender letter (ITT).
