A TRNS project set up in collaboration with Cefas wants to investigate the influence of windmill parks at sea on the marine biodiversity, by creating biotope and habitat maps of the North Sea. The focus is on macrobenthic data. They do not limit themselves to data from within windmill parks, but also data collected in the wider North Sea area, including those regions from before the windmill parks were actually there. From EurOBIS, we will provide relevant data and information for this project.
