Abstract |
The main goal of the Monitoring and Evaluation program was to gain experience and stimulate exchange of knowledge on the impact of a large offshore wind farm during the construction and operational phase. The program was divided in six main topics: the effects on 1) migratory and 2) local birds, on 3) benthic organisms, on 4) pelagic and 5) demersal fish and on 6) marine mammals. This reports focusses on the potential effects of the wind farm on the fish community, 4) pelagic and 5) demersal, in the Dutch coastal zone during the first years of the operational phase of the wind farm.
