A revised technique for mapping the spawning sites of Atlantic herring in the UK has been developed which will ensure fish are protected during offshore wind farm construction and which could lead to a more efficient and low cost development process, the Carbon Trust said.
A first-of-its-kind acoustic telescope is under development at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), funded by a $1 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, that will permit researchers to map and study the underwater soundscape. Seawater quickly absorbs or scatters light, radio waves
Together with the North Sea Foundation and the Natuur & Milieu organisation, Van Oord and Eneco are starting a project to restore natural underwater features around wind farms: “the Rich North Sea”.
