Blue and Green: A new study has suggested that offshore renewable energy projects such as wind farms can help certain marine species to thrive, offering novel habitats to organisms that would otherwise be threatened or displaced. The study tried to assess how the presence of wind, wave and tidal energy developments, such as those off the coasts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, could affect the lives of marine fauna, in particular pelagic larvae such as barnacles, mussels and limpets. They found out that in...
