Celtic Sea project will map marine mammals through underwater sound
A £2.7 million research project is bringing together acoustic records to study marine-mammal movements and underwater noise across the Celtic Sea.
The 15 September announcement describes a three-year collaboration involving ORE Catapult, Celtic Sea Power and Exeter. It builds on listening equipment deployed the previous October. The aim is to inform offshore-wind planning with regional evidence; it does not conclude that every proposed development has no environmental effect.
