| Short description: |
This document also provides guidance on how to carry out initial ecological surveys
(ecosurveys) to inform the desk study and Conceptual Site Model (CSM) stage of the
ERA (lTier 1), as well as the more detailed ecosurveys performed at Tier 2. Although
this document has been prepared for the ERA framework, it is not designed to be Part
2A specific and so provides guidance on undertaking ecosurveys to inform any
environmental assessment process.
Ecosurveys are surveys designed to gather spatial and/or temporal ecological data
including the presence and state of the habitats and species occurring on a site.
