"Windfarm avoiding seabirds" refers to seabird species that exhibit a behavioral tendency to avoid areas near offshore wind farms. These birds actively choose to steer clear of these locations. Seabirds are highly sensitive to their environment, and the introduction of man-made structures like wind farms can disrupt their natural behaviors, including foraging, nesting, and resting. | |||
Studies on the interactions between seabirds and offshore wind farms are ongoing, and researchers aim to understand how different species respond to these structures. This knowledge is crucial for informing conservation efforts and minimizing potential impacts on seabird populations. | |||

Windfarm avoiding seabird is a month-by-month, computer generated data layer following calculations made by the ecosystem simulation (EwE). For more information on how Ecopath-with-Ecosim (EwE) works, please visit our [https://community.mspchallenge.info/wiki/Ecosystem_simulation_(MEL_%26_EwE)' Wiki page] or visit the official EwE website at https://ecopath.org. | |||
For detailed information on how the simulation works for the North Sea Edition, we recommend further exploring our research publication called "[https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-11580-250221 Combining ecosystem modeling with serious gaming in support of transboundary maritime spatial planning]". | |||
