Research Question
What is the response of marine mammals to pile-driving and vessel activities during OSW farm construction?
Monitoring Method
Before-after/control impact study
Technology
CPODS (echolocation click detectors)
Impact source/Stressor
Noise
Development Phase
Construction
Receptor
Marine Mammals
Geographic Area
Europe
Spatial Scale
Two Scottish OSW farms: Moray East and Beatrice
Temporal Scale
months - years
Main Findings
-Compared to baseline, an 8–17% decline in porpoise occurrence was observed in the impact block during pile-driving and other construction activities.
-The probability of detecting porpoises and buzzing activity was positively related to the distance from vessel and construction activities, and negatively related to levels of vessel intensity and background noise.
-Porpoise displacement was observed at up to 12 km from pile-driving activities and up to 4 km from construction vessels
