A new rewilding paradigm: NEBA-CA case study of an end-of-life North Sea oil platform

Todd, V.L.G, McLean D, Elden SV, Thomas Á, Todd, I.B. This research demonstrated the extensive diversity of native and protected species on an ageing North Sea oil platform and takes the first step in considering the potential environmental, societal, and economic net benefits of decommissioned platforms in the context of a rewilding paradigm.

Source levels of an acoustic harassment device system on an operational Scottish salmonid farm

Todd, V.L.G., Todd, I.B. Acoustic Harassment Devices (AHDs) are used worldwide to deter pinnipeds from predating fish-aquaculture facilities; however, effects on non-target species are of concern. This study focused on the newly developed, Research & Development OTAQ Aquaculture Seal Fence AHD system, tested at a fully operational salmonid farm in Scotland, located within a Special Area […]
