A report published by independent, international energy consultancy Xodus Group, and its project partners SMRU Marine, recommends how offshore wind farm operators and regulators can minimise the effects of noise during offshore turbine piling and reduce injury to marine mammals. The independent revi
Team Humber Marine Alliance’s (THMA) member, RSS Marine, undertook environmental monitoring work on Humber Gateway offshore wind farm. The RSS Marine team, based at Hunmanby, North Yorkshire, has managed the sampling of herring larvae as part of the site’s marine licence. Simon Prince, general manag
As Japan’s shift to renewable energy gears up after the Fukushima disaster, the country is progressively pushing for offshore wind power, having in mind that its onshore wind capacities are rather limited. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced on Friday that it will establish
