WindAction | 'Environmental pollutant'—How a key climate agenda tool harms endangered species

As the Biden administration expands its offshore wind projects as part of its goal to reach a carbon-free energy system, whales and other marine life may become collateral damage, according to new research. Two independent studies measuring ocean wind turbine construction noise found that the sound emitted by vessels mapping the seafloor was significantly louder than estimated, and that noise protection for whales and other sea creatures during wind turbine pile driving doesn’t work. Intense noise causes hearing loss in whales, other marine mammals, turtles, and fish, compromising their ability to navigate, avoid danger, detect predators, and find prey, according to scientific studies.

<p>Anticipating changes to ecosystems is often at best an educated guess, but what if there was a way to better tune into possible changes occurring?</p> <p>A team of researchers led by Grace O&rsquo;Malley, a Ph.D. candidate in&nbsp;biological sciences, and Gabrielle Ripa, a Ph.D. student in&nbsp;plant and environmental sciences, have discovered that the silent growth of non-native invasive plants can affect the soundscape of an ecosystem. These altered soundscapes, the acoustic patterns of a landscape through space and time, may provide a key to better observing the hard-to-see physical and biological changes occurring in an ecosystem as they are beginning.</p>
