This deliverable consists of two parts, first a legal guide to environmental assessment for floating wind farm projects, then in a second part, a study on the legal framework for the spatial planning of floating wind farms: The place of environmental assessment

Excel database containing the information collected for the atlas (45 sources for the French maritime façades + 24 on a global scale) and shapefiles for the cartographic representation of the available data

The objective of the ARCWIND project was to assess the feasibility of floating wind farms in deep waters in the Eastern Atlantic.

Measurement of the diameter of biocolonised moorings and biofouling composition at T+6 months of immersion.

This report presents the analysis of the effects of climate change on the spatial distribution of different marine species frequenting the study site called Baie de Seine étendue using ecological niche models

Configuration of the ocean model and biogeochemical modules

This report focuses on two important parameters for biofouling image analysis: the artificial light and the distance to the structure. The first section presents the available tool that was already deployed in several studies in link with industrial needs (O’Byrne et al., 2018c) and the laboratory equipment. Section 2 focuses on the automatic segmentation algorithm and the indicators of quality of assessments. Finally section 3 introduces configurations that were tested and the key results.

The objective of the COME3T project were: • To provide elements of expertise, synthesis and recommendations on the identification of environmental priority issues for the ORE through the establishment of a lead neutral experts committee. • To install a French and unique network of experts that can be consulted by all ORE stakeholders.

This paper presents a first framework for OSPAR Regional Sea Convention food web indicators based on ENA. These are presented here focusing on their applicability and what is needed for implementation, illustrating their potential use by case studies.

This report presents the statistical study of the effects of the implementation of the Courseulles sur mer wind farm on the emergent properties of the ecosystem
