Cerema

Cerema authored environmental-and-uses studies for the Centre Manche 1 offshore wind project area, specifically reports on professional fishing activity in Normandy referenced as being produced in 2020 and again in 2022. These studies formed part of the project’s wider “Études sur l'environnement et les usages” documentation made available for the project zone, alongside other baseline environment and usage reports. Within the Centre Manche 1 environmental baseline, the professional fishing reports supported understanding of existing maritime uses and sensitivities in and around the planned development area. By documenting fleet activity and fishing practices over multiple years, Cerema’s work contributed evidence to help frame potential interactions between the offshore wind farm and fisheries, and to inform subsequent impact assessment, stakeholder dialogue and the identification of avoidance, reduction or compensation measures. The scope described in the source is limited to the provision of the two referenced fishing-study reports (2020 and 2022) for Normandy as part of the environmental/uses studies package associated with Centre Manche 1. No contract value, award date, or detailed deliverables beyond these reports were stated in the provided source.
