Abstract: In January 2021, the French Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Ministry for the Sea asked the French Enegry Agency (ADEME) to assess, and follow in time, the impacts of offshore wind farms. In February 2023, an interdisciplinary, observatory-type research device (EOLENMER), gathering academics from social, environmental and engineering sciences, and coordinated by social sciences, has been set up in order to monitor the development of the first offshore wind farms and analyze their bio-socio-spatial ramifications. This observatory approach is ambitious on several counts : it is interdisciplinary, it is being deployed on three maritime fronts to monitor six sites around France, and it aims at monitoring wind farms over the long term, from construction to operation and even dismantling. Our presentation will introduce the observatory and its functioning, present some results from a 6-month survey (6 wind farm sites), and discuss the issues raised in positioning such a scientific endeavor in a time of rapidly upscaling offshore wind power development.
