Identify this object off the coast of Norway

Factual Questions
1

This is an object or structure of some kind that I found on google maps. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks.

Interesting. I’m going to guess some kind of fish farm. The circular things look like huge nets to me. I suspect each one has a zillion fish in it, and the people in the structure/boat/whatever haul them in with the long cables when they’re ready for market.

That’s just a guess, and I’m looking at it in my phone. So, take my post with a big grain of salt.

ETA: Yeah, I think that’s what it is. Mariculture - Wikipedia

Is that a flock of birds over the 4th circle down on the right side?

Wow. At first glance, I was going to idiotically say wave generator. I’m glad I didn’t post.
