Catriona will be working to provide clients with Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), environmental reports and Habitats Regulations Appraisals (HRAs). The focus will be on seabird EIAs and HRAs for offshore wind farms based on the aerial survey work collected by HiDef. Catriona brings a wealth of expertise from her previous role as Marine Renewables Casework Advisor at Scottish Natural Heritage being lead adviser on offshore wind farm projects down the east coast of Scotland.
HiDef Managing Director Andy Webb said, “At a time of renewables expansions in UK waters having Catriona on board gives us confidence in the data and services we provide and allows us to engage with new projects while supporting existing clients further.”
