Description

The objective of the MMERMAID project is to monitor occupancy patterns and fine-scale movements of fish species around an offshore wind farm structure. Acoustic receiver array is deployed around the structure in a French Offshore Wind Farm located in the eastern Channel. Monitored species include various elasmobranch and pelagic species
