Monitoring of avifauna by terrestrial radar

Monitoring of avifauna by terrestrial radar

As the offshore radar can only be functional when the wind turbines are energized, monitoring by terrestrial radar is set up before and during construction.
Specific monitoring will be implemented to assess micro/macro avoidance as well as migratory flows within the park during the operational phase (see avifauna monitoring sheet by maritime radar) The main objectives of this monitoring of the avifauna by terrestrial radar are to evaluate the potential changes in the behavior of seabirds due to the presence of the park and to measure the migratory flow in order to know more about the importance of the passages in the bay of Saint-Brieuc.

Monitoring the dispersal of Alcidae chicks

Monitoring the dispersal of Alcidae chicks

The objective of the measurement is to improve knowledge of the phenomenon of dispersal of adults and their chicks at sea and to verify whether this dispersal is carried out in the direction of the wind farm off the coast of Saint-Brieuc Bay.
The scientific protocol establishing the technical modalities of field actions was established jointly between Ailes Marines and local stakeholders (Bretagne Vivante and the Syndicat Mixte Grand Site Cap d'Erquy Cap Fréhel).
