Fisheries sensitivity mapping and displacement modelling (FiSMaDiM)
June 5 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The project identifies areas of high and low risk of Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) development causing negative economic impacts on the fishing industry and helps to reduce the likelihood of conflicts between these two economic activities. A web-based tool has been created to incorporate and explain current fishing activity and the potential economic impacts of OWF sites on the fishing sector. This webinar will introduce the web-based tool which is designed to be hosted on the relevant UK and Scottish Government web-portals.
