The marine bird impact assessment guidance workshop was held on 20 February 2020.  The aim of the workshop was to discuss current bird guidance and tools for the impact assessment of marine renewable energy projects and to identify any issues and possible solutions. Feedback from the workshop, together with an action plan, are set out in a workshop report. This will inform the guidance we provide to developers in connection with the ScotWind leasing round. Links to the workshop report, action plan, and all of the presentations given on the day are provided below.
