The brief

The BEEMS (British Energy Estuarine and Marine Studies) programme is funded by Cefas' customer EDF Energy to provide authoritative scientific information on the marine and transitional waters in the vicinity of potential new build nuclear power stations.

Cefas has a requirement to conduct a survey to investigate the subtidal benthic communities in Bridgewater Bay.

It includes six sampling stations: three located off Hinkley Point, and three located in the east side of the Bay (see map below).

Three replicate grab samples will be taken at each site.

This monitoring would serve to inform the WFD benthic invertebrate biological element for TraC waterbodies and it will also provide baseline data for the monitoring at Hinkley Point.
