Floating offshore wind farms in Mediterranean marine protected areas: a cautionary tale
Abstract – As offshore wind energy expands in Europe, maritime planners increasingly need to consider the potential effects of these activities on the different types of marine protected areas (MPAs), including Natura 2000 sites. The aim of this article is to critically review the initial development of offshore wind energy inside and/or in the vicinity of Mediterranean Natura 2000 sites and other types of MPAs. The western Mediterranean Sea is taken as an example as this is where most of the . . . Complete article »

Unravelling the ecological impacts of large-scale offshore wind farms in the Mediterranean Sea
Highlights Offshore wind farms (OWF) pose serious environmental risks to the Mediterranean Sea. OWF models cannot be simply imported from the northern European seas to other seas. OWF should be excluded from areas of high biodiversity and/or high valuable seascape. OWF development should be forbidden in or in the vicinity of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Biodiversity loss and climate change are interconnected and must be tackled simultaneously. Abstract: The need for alternative energy systems like offshore wind power to move . . . Complete article »
