This report accompanies release of an update to the SCRAM model (Stochastic Collision Risk Assessment for Movement), a collision risk decision support tool for the Northeastern Continental Shelf Ecosystem (NES).

Abstract

This document describes the products of Phase 2 of funding under the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Contract No. M19PG00023, “Transparent modeling of collision risk for three federally listed bird species in relation to offshore wind energy development” (Adams et al. 2022). This report accompanies release of an update to the SCRAM model (Stochastic Collision Risk Assessment for Movement), a collision risk decision support tool for the Northeastern Continental Shelf Ecosystem (NES). SCRAM includes (1) a stochastic collision risk model, which uses avian movement data from telemetry studies to estimate risk of bird collisions with offshore wind turbines planned for construction in the U.S. Atlantic, as well as (2) a web application to implement the model. SCRAM currently estimates collision risk for three federally protected bird species: the roseate tern (Sterna dougallii), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), and red knot (Calidris canutus rufa).
