Description

The Biodiversa+-funded MARE-WIND project (funding period 2026 to 2029) aims to understand potential impacts from North Sea Offshore Wind Farms on marine life from different angles. This acoustic project is holding metadata about acoustic telemetry receiver and bioacoustics deployments inside Belgian Offshore Wind Farms.
