Scientists already know some of the local impacts of wind farms. For example, they can, somewhat counterintuitively, reduce local wind speed. They also create their own local climates, and cause disturbances in the water in the form of a downwind wake. But what those changes might mean for marine life or for industries that depend on ocean resources is something that scientists are still trying to figure out.

Offshore wind farms can create their own local climates and may alter currents. How does that affect marine life around them?

Offshore wind farms have emerged as a significant source of renewable energy in the North Sea. However, concerns persist regarding their environmental...

Offshore wind farms can have an impact on the marine ecosystems they are built in and upon, a new study has found, but much more research is needed to understand those impacts and how to best plan for them.
