Marine biodiversity

Exploring the biodiversity of offshore wind farms.

Environmental DNA for monitoring marine environments around wind farms.

In brief

Status
Study in progress
Context
Offshore wind farms
Environment
Marine biodiversity
Approach
Environmental DNA

The context

Offshore wind projects come with a baseline survey and monitoring of the marine environment, from construction to operation.

The question

How can marine biodiversity be documented in the context of renewable energy projects?

The approach

Environmental DNA surveys biodiversity from water samples, without capturing any species. The protocol, the groups targeted and the sampling frequency are set according to the site and the question.

Study in progress: its results are not published yet. A similar project? Tell us about your site and your question: we will design the right protocol together.
