Some groups haveblamed offshore wind developmentfor whale deaths. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued abiological opinionthis August that said pile driving by Vineyard Wind "is likely to adversely affect, but is not likely to jeopardize" the existence of whales, sea turtles and...
The conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy by wave devices is usually considered to have a low impact on the environment3. Although this is true with respect to CO2emissions (no CO2is produced during the wave-energy conversion process), little has been studied regarding the effects ...
The operation and in particular the construction of offshore wind converters induce considerable underwater noise emissions. It is assumed that small whales and seals can be affected by noises from machines and vessels, piling and installation of the wind turbines. Piling, in particular using ...
Ecological research now deals increasingly with the effects of noise pollution on biodiversity. Indeed, many studies have shown the impacts of anthropogenic noise and concluded that it is potentially a threat to the persistence of many species. The present work is a systematic map of the evidence ...

[22] presented a probabilistic model, quantifying the collision risk of small-sized and large-sized fish at large turbines, considering rotors with diameter greater than 5 m, while Onoufriou et al. [23] investigated the potential severe trauma on seal carcasses (Halichoerus grypus), using a ...
