The MMO recommends a thorough baseline on key shellfish species is provided. Although the East Anglia (EA) zone as a whole is of little interest as a fishing ground for shellfish, to the best of our knowledge, the cable corridor may pass through some commercial shellfish grounds close inshore.
The MMO expects that the impact assessment for demersal spawning species, sandeel and herring will be addressed by the EIA process.
The creation of new habitat through installation of the wind turbines and associated scour protection should be noted as a modification of the existing habitat and not new habitat.
Offshore cable passes through the Outer Thames Estuary SPA. A number of SPA's and SACs are located in the vicinity of the offshore cable corridor. Offshore cable corridor also overlaps the Orford Inshore recommended MCZ. Include sites of Community Importance SCI in cumulative impact assessment.
Noise and vibration impacts on possible spawning grounds of herring, plaice, sandeel, sprat and cod to be assessed and potential mitigation proposed.

Section 11.6.1.3 and 11.7.3. Herring, plaice, sandeel, sprat and cod are considered under the assessment for noise.
Throughout this chapter Responses and consultation comments on fish and shellfish (ecology and EIA) from East Anglia ONE which are also relevant to East Anglia THREE are given below in the second part of this table (Table 11.1).
Suggestion to communicate the confidence in the predictions on potential impacts.
The development is constrained by the fixed limits of the zone and, therefore,
