Bat migration over the North Sea and Baltic Sea

As part of the project, data with the highest possible temporal and spatial resolution on the occurrence of bats migrating over the seas were collected and analysed. In this process, species and origin were also investigated.
The results will serve as a first basis for the development of an evaluation methodology for the assessment of offshore bat migration. Also, the transferability of collision mitigation measures - such as shutdown algorithms at onshore wind turbines -to offshore wind turbines was evaluated.
