Description

"Windfarm indifferent seabirds" is not a standard term in ornithology or ecology. However, in this context, it refers to seabird species that do not exhibit a significant preference or avoidance of areas near offshore wind farms. These species may continue to forage, rest, or nest in areas near wind farms without substantial disruption.

It's important to note that the behavior of seabirds around wind farms can vary widely depending on the specific species, the location of the wind farm, and other environmental factors. 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.

Data Source

Windfarm indifferent 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 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 "Combining ecosystem modeling with serious gaming in support of transboundary maritime spatial planning".
