Danish study: wildlife hardly harmed by offshore wind farms

Danish energy and environment government agencies have released their findings at the conclusion of an eight-year study on the impacts of the world’s two largest offshore wind farms, Horns Rev and Nysted, on the aquatic ecosystem including birds, fish, seals and benthic life.

These findings were released at the Final Results: The Danish Monitoring Programme conference held in Denmark on November 27-29.

Craig Olmsted, Cape Wind Vice President of Project Development, attended the conference and said, “Listening to the scientists at the conference who had done the studies it was really clear – offshore wind farms in Denmark have been good neighbors, to birds, fish and people.”
