Metadata: 2021-2023, Scottish Government Marine Directorate, Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme (OWEC), Stochastic Collision Risk Modelling Tool (sCRM)
Abstract:
To improve the evidence base for assessing collision risk to migratory birds from offshore wind developments, a comprehensive review was undertaken focusing on non-seabird features of UK Special Protection Areas (SPAs). The review collated data for 70 species, covering key parameters including population estimates, migration routes and timing, flight height and speed, as well as avoidance behaviour. High-resolution tracking data for 15 species enabled comparisons with traditional ringing recovery data, supporting the identification of broad migration corridors. Despite technological advances reducing uncertainty in flight speed estimates, significant gaps remain in population size data, flight height distributions, and avoidance behaviour. The findings inform the development of a stochastic Collision Risk Model (sCRM) tool and provide recommendations for improving future assessments of migratory bird collision risk.

| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2021-2023, Scottish Government Marine Directorate, Offshore Wind Evidence and Change Programme (OWEC), Stochastic Collision Risk Modelling Tool (sCRM) |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 56120822-f790-4a1d-b16e-5c073b4bcc93 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-4397 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2021-10-11 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2023-03-30 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data was compiled from national monitoring schemes from across the UK as well as published and grey literature. For each species, the project then used information on migratory routes as well as expert knowledge to estimate the percentage of individuals (either breeding, non-breeding, or passage) from the relevant biogeographic population that are likely to move through UK waters. However, in many cases, these estimates are likely to be highly uncertain. Consequently, the project assessed confidence in percentage estimates based on the quality of published information and expert knowledge of the species' migration routes. |
