Collision Risk Models (CRM) are used to assess impacts on seabird populations in all offshore wind farms Environmental Impact Assessments (‘EIA‘) and Habitats Regulations Appraisals (‘HRA‘) in the UK. Existing collision models are unable to...
The layers provide information on the intensity of mobile fishing associated with Oil and Gas pipelines and cables. Each layer was created by calculating the total number of fishing tracks in 1 km by 1 km squares along the length of each pipeline...
The CSNIreOT4 begins in 1992 and ends in 2016, Moriarty et al (2017) detail the survey’s history. The Celtic Sea Northern Irish Quarter 4 Otter Trawl Groundfish Survey Monitoring and Assessment Data resource contains both biological and sampling...
This data set of CTD and/or STD profiles at stations on the Faroe-Cape Wrath (FCW) hydrographic section has been collected on cruises under many different projects and programmes undertaken by Marine Scotland, the Faroe Marine Research Institute...

Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 9 No 7 1. Waterbirds are subject to a range of pressures on their wintering grounds, with disturbance and pollution being potentially the most significant. In the British Isles, significant populations of...
Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 4 No 4 Descriptor 8 (contaminants and their effects) is one of the eleven Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) qualitative descriptors for determining Good Environmental Status (GES) (Directive...
This model, written in R, simulates the effects of offshore wind farms upon seabird foraging behaviour, and the ultimate consequences of this for adult and chick survival. The model has been designed for use with four specific proposed offshore...
