Summary

With ambitious targets like Net Zero by 2050, our coast and seas hold the potential for a resilient and decarbonised future. Offshore wind power is widely regarded as one of the most promising sources of renewable energy, however the expansion of offshore energy production can pose a risk to marine wildlife, including seabirds, if the expansion is not managed correctly. One seabird that is thought to be particularly sensitive to offshore wind farm developments is the black-legged kittiwake, but a closer look at a Walney Two offshore wind farm may tell a different story. This Report Investigates the nesting behaviour of the Kittiwake colony found on Walney Two Offshore wind farm, providing a base line data set for the colony and greater insight into the impact of offshore wind farms on sensitive seabird populations.
