Description
The Offshore Renewables Joint Industry Program (ORJIP) Bird Collision Avoidance (BCA) study, which started in 2014 is a joint industry project managed by Carbon Trust, United Kingdom (UK) and funded by 15 parties. NIRAS (UK) and DHI (Denmark) have been in charge of developing the sensor technologies and analytical framework necessary to improve the evidence base for seabird avoidance behaviour and collisions around offshore wind farms in order to offer better support to consenting applications for the offshore wind industry. The project is now in its final stage with publication of results due in April 2018. This paper presents the setup, technology innovation and analytical methods. The main results of the ORJIP study in terms of species-specific avoidance rates at macro, meso and micro scale will be available as part of the final report and associated scientific paper.

Abstract (French)
Le programme ORJIP d'etude du comportement des oiseaux dans les parcs eoliens offshore, initie en 2014, est un projet industriel coordonne par Carbon Trust au Royaume-Uni et finance par dix promoteurs de parcs eoliens offshore et deux regulateurs au Royaume-Uni. NIRAS (Royaume-Uni) et DHI (Danemark) ont ete charges de developper les technologies de detection et le cadre d'analyse necessaires a l'amelioration de la base de donnees sur les comportements des oiseaux de mer et les collisions dans les zones des parcs eoliens offshore. Le projet est maintenant dans sa phase finale avec la publication des resultats attendue en avril 2018. Ce document presente le dispositif de mesure et les technologies innovantes developpees ainsi que les methodes d'analyse mises en oeuvre. Les principaux resultats de l'etude ORJIP en termes de taux d'evitement specifiques aux especes a l'echelle macro, meso et micro seront disponibles dans le cadre du rapport final et du document scientifique associe.
