14 Sensitivity to collision above water was assessed generally for all activities and structures. Here we focus on exposure to collision with wind turbines
15 Sensitivity to barrier to species movement was assessed generally for all activities and structures. Here we focus on exposure to wind turbines as a barrier to species movement
