The Migralion programme, led by the Office français de la biodiversité (OFB), has released its initial findings after four years of data collection on avian migratory flows in the Gulf of Lion, a strategic area in the Mediterranean. This maritime zone already hosts a pilot floating wind farm with three turbines, with 19 more units planned by 2031 as part of France’s offshore wind development strategy.
