[9] As per the National Infrastructure Planning website, Dogger Bank Teesside A/Sofia Offshore Wind Farm (formerly Dogger Bank Teesside B) has been consented as one development. However, Dogger Bank Teesside A and Sofia Offshore Wind Farm provided separate Environmental Reports/Appraisals for increased hammer energy to support non-material change DCO applications and therefore the assessment of impacts on marine mammals will be considered independently. See more details in paragraph 417.

[10] Demographic stochasticity refers to variability in population growth rates arising from random differences among individuals in survival and reproduction.
