Project Abstract
To understand the potential interactions between megafauna (e.g.,cetaceans, seabirds,and elasmobranchs) and ORE devices (by the year 2030 Irish maritime waters could contain 5GW) , CETUS aims to find and compile all available datasets on sensitive megafauna species and build a national standardised database which can support visualisation and mapping of species distributions.
