Information about the construction phase

A limited impact on fishing zones during the construction phase and a set of measures taken for make the wind farm compatible with the maintenance of fishing activities during the operation phase

The wind farm is not geographically or geomorphologically located within the 800 km2 of the Bay of Saint Brieuc, but off its coast.

• The positioning of the project avoids the most productive areas of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc ( impact study on the fishing sector carried out by the independent consultancy "Océanic Développement" in 2011).
• Little fishing activity in the project area, particularly in the north (Local Nautical Commission 2016).
• From a spatial point of view, the wind farm represents approximately 2% of the fishery statistics ICES 26E7.

The location of the project completely excludes the wind farm from the "Gisement Principal "and the most productive fishing areas in the Bay. It can therefore be estimated that the spatial extent of the wind farm represents less than 1.5% of the scallop production of the whole Bay.

• The entire wind farm is located in the "Gisement du large" and therefore completely excludes the "Gisement Principal" scallop wind farm.
• The production of the offshore deposit represents about 15% of the overall production of the Bay of Saint Brieuc (CNL 2016). The spatial extent of the project represents 6% of the "Gisement du large".
• It can therefore be estimated that the wind farm represents less than 1.5% of the scallop production of the whole Bay.
