2004 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA5 Technical report - Diver, grebe and seaduck review
This report is a contribution to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA5) conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change). A review of the distribution and abundance of divers, grebes and seaduck in the SEA 5 area was carried out by Cork Ecology at the request of the Department of Trade and Industry as part of the production of the SEA 5 Consultation Document. The study area was defined as the east coast of Scotland from the English border north to John O'Groats, including Orkney and Shetland, and the offshore waters in the SEA 5 area. This review considered thirteen species: red-throated diver, black-throated diver, great northern diver, great crested grebe, red-necked grebe, slavonian grebe, scaup, eider, long-tailed duck, common scoter, velvet scoter, goldeneye and red-breasted merganser.

- Statement
- This report was prepared by Colin Barton and Claire Pollock, Cork Ecology, Cork, Ireland as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. A combination of raw and published data, from land-based, aerial and ship-board counts were included to allow as complete a review as possible to be carried out. In general data from 1991 onward were considered with the aim of presenting the most recent estimates for the important sites. Earlier European Seabirds at Sea (ESAS) data (from 1979 onwards) for ship and aerial surveys were included, with average densities calculated using data from all years. Sites that regularly hold more than 1 % of the national population of a species are deemed to be nationally important, and sites with more than 1 % of the biogeographic population are internationally important.
