196: Offshore Wind and Marine Mammals with Stephen Comerford

The image shows an offshore wind farm with multiple white wind turbines arranged in a line across the horizon. The turbines are installed in the sea, with their bases partially submerged in the grey-blue water. The sky above is overcast with a light grey cloud cover, creating a moody atmosphere. Each turbine has three blades and appears to be of significant size, standing tall above the water's surface. The turbines are evenly spaced and extend across the entire width of the frame, demonstrating the scale of the offshore wind energy installation. Image by Julia Schwab from Pixabay

https://open.spotify.com/episode/4w1wJAISQyArnmmUCCOMOX Are offshore wind farms detrimental to marine mammals? What happens when we industrialise our seas with massive turbines? Can we balance the urgent need for renewable energy with protecting marine life? These questions take centre stage in our conversation with marine ecologist Dr Stephen Comerford, who is the ORE Marine Biodiversity Officer at the … Continue reading 196: Offshore Wind and Marine Mammals with Stephen Comerford →
