This report describes EEMPs based on data and lessons learned from the environmental studies conducted up until the publication date. The EEMPs are designed to supplement background datasets where needed but are primarily aimed at verifying predictions made in the Environmental Assessment and at monitoring the environmental effects of operating turbines.
Monitoring programs have been developed for five subject areas: Lobsters, Fish, Marine Mammals, Marine Seabirds and Acoustics (marine noise). The EEMPs are intended to cover initial turbine deployments over the time period 2016 - 2021.
