22 April 2021 13:51 GMT Updated 22 April 2021 14:01 GMT Shell-EDF US offshore wind joint venture Atlantic Shores is about to launch a pair of data collection buoys at its lease area off New Jersey, to amass key atmospheric and weather data, and track the migration of a variety of species of bird, fish, turtle and other animals nano-tagged by researchers. The deployment marks the next step in the development of the giant offshore wind lease, which sprawls over a 740.5km 2 zone 16-32 km from shore between Atlantic City and Barnegat Light, where the pair have the ambition of building out some 3GW of plant.
