The PrePARED Team enjoyed a short break over the winter period and are now looking forward to more data collection and collation of findings in 2024.

Annual Knowledge Exchange Meeting 2024
During January the team have been focussing on preparations for our upcoming Annual Knowledge Exchange Meeting taking place on 27 February 2024 at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh.
At this event we will focus on sharing PrePARED findings with key stakeholders, discussing transferability, exploring external factors and taking a look at Planning and Consenting processes and needs within offshore wind.
Data Collection
The past few months has seen several storms impacting Scotland resulting in a delay to our Moray Firth acoustic receiver servicing. We hope that, as the weather improves, we can service these, download the data and begin processing this as soon as possible.
Shortly we will recover our Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) devices from offshore wind farms in the Moray Firth. This will allow our team to download data sharing marine mammal movement around wind farms.
University of Exeter task lead, Matthew Witt, will present on behalf of PrePARED at the ScotMER Symposium on the 8 February 2024. You can register to attend the online symposium here.
