A Controlled Flow Excavation / Rock Placement Marine Protected Areas assessment for the Caithness–Moray HVDC Link was prepared and published in February 2019 to support marine works. The assessment documented proposed seabed intervention methods (CFE and rock placement), considered potential sediment and ecological effects on nearby MPAs, and formed part of the project’s marine consenting and construction planning documentation.
