This project was funded by the Scottish Government and Crown Estate Scotland. We wish to thank Marine Scotland and the project steering group for support and guidance throughout this project.

The project would not have been possible without the collaboration of others who supplied data. We thank the RSPB for supplying data collected as part of the FAME and STAR projects. The Gannet and Kittiwake tracking data from Bempton Cliffs collected by RSPB on behalf of Ørsted and supplied by Lucy Wright. Francis Daunt (CEH) supplied data for Kittiwakes from the Isle of May. Keith Hamer (University of Leeds) supplied data for Gannets from the Bass Rock and Jon Green (University of Liverpool) supplied Gannet data collected from Alderney in collaboration with the Alderney Wildlife Trust and its’ Track A Gannet programme and additional data from Puffin Island. Lesser Black-backed Gull data were collected by BTO as part of projects funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment research programme and Ørsted.
