As offshore wind expands to meet decarbonisation targets, improved post‑construction monitoring is needed to strengthen the evidence base underpinning seabird collision risk modelling and environmental assessment. The PrediCtOr project brings together offshore wind developers, nature conservation bodies, monitoring specialists, scientists, and regulators to improve how collision monitoring is designed, delivered and interpreted.

As part of the project, two best practice guidance documents have been developed, addressing both data and installation design considerations for seabird collision monitoring offshore. Together, they link practical installation design with data expectations, supporting more consistent planning, delivery and interpretation of collision monitoring.
