I did my end-of-year Masters at BOREA as part of the ECOFUNC team, modelling the impacts of offshore wind farms on the food web in Belgian waters. The aim of CDD is to develop LIM-MCMC models following a Fécamp mast/offshore gradient, with 3 "zero-dimensional" models: Fécamp mast, intermediate point, offshore point. This work is intended to prepare for the arrival of data from the DRACCAR project, which will then be integrated into the modeling framework. To this end, I will develop a bibliographical study on prior knowledge of the area and the species present, and on the issues of translating existing information into biomass and flows, according to the means employed in the field. I will also work on testing the algorithms developed by LMNO in the Nestore project, using a comparison between the models derived from the Fécamp data and those derived from wind farm data in Belgium.
