2012, NIRAS, Argyll Array Offshore Windfarm, Shadow Assessment

Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) have elected to undertake a shadow assessment of potential effects of AAOWF on sites in Scottish inshore waters which, in the future, may possibly be designated as Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for overwintering great northern diver. In this report, particular reference is made to the waters around Coll & Tiree, which support internationally important numbers of great northern diver, and which are in closest proximity to the AAOWF site.
