Getting PrePARED: A Preview of the Final Event

4th November; 12:30 – 13:30 UK time; online webinar

Join the PrePARED team for a special preview webinar offering a taste of what’s to come at the PrePARED Final Event on 20 January 2027.

Over the last few years, PrePARED has been investigating how offshore wind developments influence seabirds, marine mammals, and fish, helping to address critical evidence gaps around cumulative environmental impacts.

This webinar provides an opportunity to hear short preview presentations on the project’s key themes, meet some of the experts behind the work, and discover why the January event is one not to miss.  Includes audience Q&A.
