Flyway Assessment of Offshore Wind Farm Impacts on Migratory Fishes
Welcome to the Git book for Flyway Assessment of Offshore Wind Farm Impacts on Migratory Fishes, a project funded by the Responsible Offshore Science Alliance. Led by scientists in the TailWinds team at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the project aims to quantify “flyways” of marine fauna in such a way that they can be evaluated for changes resulting from impacts to their migratory corridors. Flyways is a collaborative project between investigators at the University of Delaware, the University of Rhode Island, Delaware State University, and the St. Mary’s College of Maryland; however, it is not possible without years of hard work by those who have tagged and detected fishes for over a decade.
