Macrozoobenthos and sediments in the prospective wind farm "Butendiek" (North Sea) between August 2001 and August 2003

The prospective building ground of the wind farm "Butendiek" in the eastern North Sea has been studied for the benthic fauna and sediments prior to any change by the wind farm. The immediate surroundings of the building ground was included as a control area. Given are data on macrozoobenthic species composition and biomass (wet weight) and the granulometric composition of surface sediments.
