24 Months of Environmental Surveys Completed at Stoura Offshore Wind Farm Site

Stoura Offshore Wind Farm has successfully completed two years of environmental baseline surveys in the North Sea, marking a key milestone in the project’s development. Appointed specialist APEM Group led a comprehensive programme of monthly aerial seabird and marine mammal surveys across the proposed wind farm site and surrounding areas, concluding in November 2024.

These surveys, conducted from aircraft flying at approximately 500 metres above sea level, used high-definition still and video cameras to capture data across the site footprint. The collected imagery supports the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) by gathering data on seabirds and marine mammals. A total of 24 monthly survey campaigns have been completed, with thousands of images analysed.
