Notice Title

CR/2018/13 - Improving our understanding of seabird behaviour at sea

Notice Description

The aim of this research project is to utilise existing data to improve the understanding of seabird behaviour at sea. Specifically, the study will aim to: Investigate how weather conditions and the diel cycle influence seabird behaviour, and how this may differ from information gained from good weather, daylight surveys. Refine flight speed estimates of seabird species.

Lot Information

Lot 1

8 The research objectives for this project are as follows: Source and analyse existing data to determine how behaviour varies across the diel cycle (e.g. time of day activity level and light level changes) and under different weather conditions for Atlantic puffin, common guillemot, razorbill, European shag, black-legged kittiwake, northern gannet, herring gull, lesser black-backed gull, and great black-backed gull. Preference for existing data sources will be from UK studies, but may be extended depending on availability. Determine whether distributions or behaviour during good weather daylight conditions typical of at-sea surveys differ from other times and conditions. Further analyse the collated data to provide updated flight speed parameters for black-legged kittiwake, northern gannet, herring gull, lesser black-backed gull, and great black-backed gull. Consider the implications of the results on the assessment of marine renewables and provide recommendations on changes required.
