Feasibility of extending SeabORD to the entire breeding season: study
SeabORD is a method that can assess displacement and barrier effects from offshore renewables on seabirds, but is currently limited to four species during the chick-rearing season. This review examined ways to improve the SeabORD model including extending to the entire breeding season.
Appendix D: Technical description of the incorporation of the revised relationships into SeabORD
If we were to rewrite Equation 5 as
(Equation 6)
and to regard the population average effect on survival of 
as contributing to the mean survival of a particular scenario, then we can replace in Equation 6 with log (s0j/(1 - s0j)) and replace the index k of pik by the scenario index j we obtain the familiar-looking
(Equation 6)
After matching the scaling in any standardisations between mij and Xi, this allows SeabORD to operate as previously.
