Project Overview
Seabird Sensitivity Mapping
Status: Complete
Start Date: April 2021
Lead Organisation: Scottish Government Marine Directorate, Carbon Trust
This user-friendly tool estimates seabird species' sensitivity to offshore wind farms across all UK waters, offering spatially explicit risk estimates. The previous version, Seabird Sensitivity Mapping Tool (ORJIP Phase 1), only covered Scotland. This project aimed to expand the tool's coverage to the rest of the UK, improving its functionality and usability while also validating its performance.
