Biofouling Study Buoys
The Institute has several instrumented buoys deployed in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, located near areas for future offshore wind farms. Equipped with biofouling monitoring devices, they allow the study of the biocolonisation phenomenon of submerged structures by marine organisms. The data collected aims to characterise and quantify biofouling under different environmental conditions and at various depths, to better understand its variability and specify its effects on structures. The information provided is particularly useful for…

Acoustic telemetry network
To study the effects of offshore wind farms on fish populations, around forty acoustic telemetry receivers have been deployed at offshore wind farm sites across the English Channel, Atlantic, and Mediterranean. At the same time, several hundred fish and crustacean individuals have been fitted with acoustic transmitters. Using this technological process, the movements of these communities can be recorded, providing insights into how they interact with offshore wind farms. A better understanding of the influence…
