The “Wild life and Interactions” Department is composed of around fifteen researchers, R&D engineers, and project managers who develop, coordinate, and carry out collaborative R&D projects as well as service activities, transfer, and science communication activities.
The Department’s scientific and technical roadmap is structured around three main areas: studying interactions between offshore wind energy and wildlife, implementing measures for anticipating, avoiding, and reducing impacts, and supporting and advising the various stakeholders in the sector.
The research projects conducted by the team focus on studying the different pressures exerted by offshore wind energy on marine wildlife (habitat changes, acoustic and electromagnetic emissions, chemical risks, collisions) across all components of marine ecosystems (benthos, fish, marine mammals, seabirds, bats). The team is also involved in developing innovative solutions for monitoring biodiversity in offshore environments, such as embedded instrumentation systems and artificial intelligence tools.
