This information will be used to provide evidence-based scientific positions on the key local marine environmental issues relating to the operation of new build nuclear power stations. The BEEMS project is being delivered by Cefas by means of eleven Work Packages (WP), the majority of which incorporate sub-contracts for specialist scientific services. Cefas manages regular monitoring tasks for the Hinkley Point C (HPC) Nuclear New Build. This item is for work associated with Remote Piloted Aircraft (RPA) flights to monitor potential coastal erosion and algal coverage: (1) along the Hinkley Point foreshore, and; (2) at Combwich Wharf and the surrounding banks of the River Parrett.
