Ørsted's South Fork Wind, seen here Oct. 9, 2024, is the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the U.S. — capable of powering about 70,000 homes annually.

They came up with a comprehensive framework, published November 10 in Biological Conservation, for assessing and mitigating the impacts of offshore wind farms on marine birds. While the impacts of ...

The study’s findings: Not a single collision between a bird and a rotor blade was recorded. Vattenfall says that the herring gulls and kittiwakes showed horizontal avoidance further away from ...

Geo-data specialist softward company Fugro and Spoor has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop an AI-powered bird-monitoring solution for offshore wind farms. The innovative system ...

Bird curtailment temporarily stops or slows wind turbines during periods of high collision risk, making it an effective mitigation strategy for onshore and offshore wind farms. As a response to ...

The giant bird nests, which were designed by a team of ecologists, architects, and engineers, are located about 1 km (0.6 miles) offshore. The structure is supported above the water on a single ...

It means bird collisions are a major element of planning for the swathe of new offshore projects being proposed around Australia. In 2019 Emma Bennett of Elmoby Ecology estimated that a single ...

W ind turbines kill a lot of birds, particularly eagles and other raptors. The exact number is unknown, because many of the world’s wind farms don’t monitor bird deaths. One mitigation idea to ...

Wind turbines offshore in the UK are set to be painted black as part of a government initiative to minimise the number of bird collisions and fatalities. The Department for Environment, Food and ...
