This EES volume describes the Reference Project and Variations for the Marine Structures. The Options identified for procedural determination by the Minister for Planning are also presented.

This volume discusses existing marine physical and ecological conditions, the hydrodynamic modelling used to characterise the environment and the social and economic activities associated with the marine environment.

It also describes modelling used to predict the effects of construction and operation of the Marine Structures. This informs the environmental impact and risk assessment. Mitigation and management strategies are then presented.
