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

Review to identify the state of knowledge on anodes and their environmental impact. Report serving as a basis for further work (deliverables 3 and 4)

Report describing the methodology and results of the simulations

Synthesis of existing data for the modeling work to follow (modeling in the deliverables of lot 3)

Conclusion and recommendation report resulting from the results of the ANODE project and published by FEM editions

The objectives of the DUNES project are on the one hand to understand the sedimentary and ecosystem dynamics of underwater dunes, and on the other hand to provide technology developers and industrialists in the ORE sector with complementary knowledge and approaches to work in environments with hydraulic dunes. The expected results are first of all to have a better knowledge of the physical processes and the natural functioning of hydraulic dunes, to create a free access GIS dedicated to dune fields and sandbanks, to characterize on a fine scale of the structure of food webs in dunes to understand the functioning of these particular systems, and finally to establish methodological recommendations regarding the evaluation of anthropogenic impacts on dune ecosystems.

In response to the issues identified by the sector and the questions raised by citizens concerning the environmental integration of marine renewable energies in France, the COME3T approach aims to provide elements of expertise, synthesis and recommendations based on a national network of experts. 6 experts contributed to this bulletin on dangerous waves and their characteristics: tsunamis, rogue waves and impact waves. The study of worst-case scenarios corresponding to the most unfavourable conditions possible allowed the experts involved to establish that no environmental issues were identified in response to the question: can fixed-foundation offshore wind farms generate dangerous waves?

Numerical simulations applied on the study sites

In the context of the development of marine renewable energies in France, the recommendations report produced within the framework of the TROPHIK project is the first French approach to an integrated study on ecosystem changes related to the implementation of an offshore wind farm.

This study is a numerical experiment to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a set of ecosystem indicators, including ANS, to fishing pressure.
