| Abstract | Objectives The aim of the project is to provide a scientifically credible review of two aspects of the physical presence of windfarm structures: 1. the likely reefs effects on fish, shellfish and other marine biota 2. the potential to enhance the reef effect for commercial species Key Customer Purpose This project is needed to inform debate about the potential positive and negative local and regional reef effects of offshore windfarm developments, and to contribute to the EIA and consent assessment process. | |
