The monitoring forms part of statutory monitoring plans and covers a number of areas: a\)changes to gravel transport along the coast from west of the HPC costruction site to Stolford Bay; b\)changes to the rock platform and drainage around the temporary jetty; c\)changes to areas of dense Corallina algae which form in cross-shore drainage features \(known as "waterfalls"\) around the jetty constuction area; d\)changes to artificial bunded reservoirs which have been built to manage drainage over the Corallina waterfalls\. e\)changes to Sabellaria \(tube-building worm\) communities near the Old Dry Dock which could be affected by water discharges from Outlet 1 and a control area near the temporary jetty; f\)changes to intertidal banks of the river Parrett near Combwich which could arise from the refurbishment and operation of Combwich Wharf\.
