Ocean Ecology was contracted by Acteon/TerraSond to deliver environmental services supporting the 2023 reconnaissance survey campaigns for the Bellrock floating offshore wind farm (and other BlueFloat Energy and Renantis Partnership Scottish floating wind sites). The scope included environmental baseline surveys and site characterisation inputs to support EIA and consenting, marine mammal mitigation (MMO and PAM services) on the Ocean Fortune survey vessel, and design and delivery of a benthic characterisation sampling plan with habitat and biodiversity assessments.
