The FRONTLINE project will use autonomous underwater vehicles, satellite remote sensing and other surveys to investigate how the rapid expansion of FLOW and climate warming is likely to affect oceanographic processes and marine life.

This study aims to bridge that knowledge gap, providing insights to guide measures that protect marine ecosystems amid the increasing demands on our oceans. The findings will also help ensure that the rapid expansion of offshore wind farms, vital for achieving global net-zero targets, is delivered sustainably.

Great, then we can compare it to the effects of offshore drilling and the use of petrochemicals on ocean life. I wonder how it will stack up?

I recently saw a random yt video from some fishing guy who bought a uw drone to take a look what „these wind mills do to the sea floor“. He was very surprised how thriving and full of life the construction was. Many big fish, shells and plants.
