Description
This article explores the impact of offshore wind farms on ocean conditions and marine life. Using numerical modelling, it reveals significant changes in primary production and predicts increased sediment carbon in some areas, along with lower oxygen levels. These findings highlight the substantial impact of offshore wind farm development on coastal ecosystems.
