Offshore operations over the summer
on September 9, 2020
On July 29th, the team went on site to retrieve the acoustic sensor installed by the company Nereis as part of the environmental monitoring of the site. Nereis was commissioned for this service following the FORESEA Acoustics Of The Sea (SEAc) project. The aim of this project was to develop a demonstrator to characterise underwater ambient noise. The acoustic sensor already collected data over 15 days in April 2018. During this 2020 campaign, the sensor again recorded continuously for 28 days. The data collected will be used to model the acoustic footprint of underwater noise in order to estimate the acoustic impact of the two demonstrators hosted on site and during their operational phase.
Both projects were initiated within the framework of the FORESEA European funding programme, which has now come to an end. However, the value of the data collected has led the team to continue its collection.
Other maintenance operations took place this summer and will continue into the autumn, with for example the maintenance of the special markers that set the site's boundaries. More about this in a later news item!
To wrap up this news with a little breather at the start of the new academic year, but also the opportunity to gauge the potential of maritime energy on a daily basis, we remind you that real-time data is still available online on our "Live Data" site. You can learn more on this website about the data collected and the equipment in place on the SEM-REV site. Visit: livedata.sem-rev.ec-nantes.fr
