Apr 4, 2025 - Wind farms in the sea - Opportunity or risk for nature?
Offshore wind energy is being massively expanded in Europe. This is having some harmful effects on marine wildlife. Marine researchers in the North Sea are investigating just how serious the problem is. What they have discovered is astonishing. Artificial reefs with completely new biotopes are forming underwater at the foundations of the turbines. The wind farms serve as a refuge for some fish. But not all creatures benefit from the offshore turbines. Harbor porpoises, for example, are driven away by the construction noise and some bird species collide with the turbines` rotor blades.
