As offshore wind farms expand rapidly in the global renewable energy transition, scientists are studying how these large marine infrastructure projects affect ecosystems beneath the waves. Research from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands suggests that offshore wind may bring both risks and benefits for sharks and rays, known collectively as Elasmobranchii, which are […]

Wageningen scientists also emphasize that offshore wind development and marine conservation are not necessarily in conflict, but early ecological understanding is essential for sustainability.
