Avifauna Ecology

The key sources and types of potential avifauna ecology impact associated with the Project include
the following:

Operational Phase:
  • Loss of habitats or particular foraging areas;
  • Presenting a barrier to bird movement;
  • Displacing birds from the area;
  • Adversely affecting birds’ feeding grounds or food sources;
  • Presenting a collision risk to birds.

The construction phase activities shall involve shipment of components to the site for installation,
likely from a barge, with support from a number of workboats.  

These activities shall not result in any adverse impact upon birds, although it shall be necessary
that general refuse generated by the construction workforce be appropriately handed and disposed
of to avoid windblown litter that could be ingested by seabirds.
