Into the silence – Balancing wind energy and marine health
A new collaborative marine research project is underway, set to discover innovative designs and best practices for monitoring and reducing underwater noise from floating offshore wind farms. It aims to ensure that our push for renewable energy doesn’t come at the expense of marine life.
No need to choose – Preserving species and fighting climate change
Wind energy is a driving force of the energy transition. Especially offshore wind parks have proven to be extremely promising due to their ability to produce massive amounts of energy. Yet, marine biologists are concerned about the influence the construction may have on the underwater environment. Does this mean we have to sacrifice climate protection for the sake of marine flora and fauna?
