PrePARED
Project Overview:
PrePARED (Predators and Prey Around Renewable Energy Developments)
Status: Active
Start Date: February 2022
Lead Organisation: Marine Scotland Science
This project both studies predator (seabird and marine mammal) and prey (fish) distribution and behaviour in and around offshore wind farms, providing critical insight into cumulative effects from large scale development for key species. Bringing together expertise from government, academia, nature conservation agencies and industry, PrePARED will address critical knowledge gaps that currently are barriers to sustainable offshore wind development.
