Spatial study and sensitivity of network indices to wind farm closure and climate disruption using an Ecospace model

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.

The objective of the APPEAL project was to develop an integrated approach to measure the effects of floating offshore wind farms on the functioning of coastal ecosystems.

The use of an ecological niche model has made it possible to characterize, on the one hand, the effects of climate change on the native species of the Bay of Biscay, such as displacements of favorable habitats towards higher latitudes, or, in a to a lesser extent, a decrease in the area of ​​favorable habitat for native species. On the other hand, the potential displacement of the favorable habitat of some subtropical species (currently present along the Moroccan coast) in the Bay of Biscay could be expected. They would then become non-indigenous species (NIS)

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

A spatialized EwE model was built covering the continental shelf of the Bay of Biscay. From this base, six ECOPATH models were built: a current model serving as a reference, a model only including the effect of climate change on native species, and four models also simulating the arrival of NIS under different hypotheses of biomass. These models include 44 native trophic groups ranging from primary production to top predators, including 13 monospecific groups of commercial interest, and two non-living groups. In addition, 8 non-indigenous trophic groups and 11 fishing fleets have been integrated in order to model the main professions operating today in the Bay of Biscay

This study analyses the sensitivity of network indices to the cumulative effects of the Courseulles sur mer wind farm and climate change
