Research & Development
Projet
The environmental impact studies of offshore wind projects focus on considering the sensitivity to potential disturbances of each of the ecological compartments (benthos, birds, marine mammals) in a fractional way. In this context, it is necessary to develop an integrated view of the ecosystem, through the implementation of modelling tools, allowing to consider the trophic food web as a whole. This approach is complementary to those used during impact studies.
TROPHIK has initiated a methodology to move from the sectoral vision of environmental impact studies to a functional and holistic approach. The analysis of the sensitivity of the functioning of the food web to the development of offshore wind farms represents a solid basis for recommending new areas of implantation. This approach will be completed within the framework of APPEAL and WINDSERV by integrating the societal and economic environment as well as biogeochemical forcings.
This project was led by Université de Caen Normandie and France Energies Marines.
This project received funding from France Energies Marines and its members and partners, as well as French State funding managed by the National Research Agency under the Investments for the Future Programme (ANR-10-IEED-0006-12).
This project was certified by the maritime cluster Pôle Mer Bretagne Atlantique.
