Chairing Leading General Steering Group
(W Ritchie)
Notes, minutes, proposals and reports to Aberdeen City Council and other partners.
Creating and Developing a Local Information System
(D R Green)
The main deliverable is a functional, well-populated GIS based Local Information System which can be used by Aberdeen City Council and other partners in an interactive mode. The LIS will be an important information tool for other projects.
Terrain Assessment, Including SSI Status
(A Dawson)
The main deliverable will be a draft field handbook/guide of the geological and geomorphological features of interest between Nigg Bay and Cove. This guide will be complementary to the development of the coastal path. Within this area the SSSI at Nigg will need a condition report.
Marine Process Study
(T O’Donoghue)
The main deliverable will be a compilation of existing and ongoing hydrodynamic information for Nigg Bay, incorporating existing bathymetric and other data from Aberdeen Harbour Board and other sources. During this one-year scoping period wave parameters from the newly positioned buoy in Aberdeen Bay will be compiled and translated into process information which could be the first-step in assessing the range of possibilities for constructional proposals within and around Nigg Bay.
Comprehensive Study of Marine Centre Proposal
(W Ritchie)
Towards the end of the scoping period this committee will provide Aberdeen City Council with a range of options for the development of a “marine centre” somewhere along the shoreline of Nigg Bay, probably on the north side. The three main elements of this proposal are – an educational/visitor centre; a small boat harbour; a multi-purpose sub.
Liaison with other Coastal Developments in City and Council
(W Ritchie)
The project isdesigned to ensure integration and awareness of other coastal developments along the coastline of Aberdeen City, at the outlet of the River Don and northwards along the sediment cell of Aberdeen Bay.
