In June 2020, an environmental and structural inspection survey was carried out at the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park using a work-class ROV with high-definition video, deployed from the survey vessel M/V Stril Explorer. The campaign examined turbine substructures, mooring lines, suction anchors and infield cables to assess colonisation, zonation, diversity and abundance of fouling communities, and to compare epifouling coverage and thickness with earlier observations from 2018.
