Setec

Setec produced baseline environmental documentation for the Centre Manche 2 offshore wind project study area, specifically focused on marine megafauna. The project information page lists Setec as the author of a “note bibliographique” (bibliographic note) and associated survey/monitoring “protocoles sur la mégafaune marine,” which form part of the wider environmental baseline (“état initial de l’environnement”) work carried out for the Centre-Manche zone. This scope relates to early-stage environmental and ecological studies that support the characterisation of key receptors such as marine mammals and other megafauna. The deliverables referenced indicate a combination of desk-based synthesis (bibliographic review of existing knowledge) and the definition of field protocols intended to structure subsequent observations and data collection campaigns in the area. The work sat within the broader programme of environmental baseline measurement campaigns undertaken in the Centre Manche zone during 2022–2024, alongside other compartment studies (e.g., benthos, water/sediment quality, fish, and underwater noise) referenced on the same page. No contract value, award date, or client awarding entity was stated in the source.
