Offshore wind energy is widely regarded as one of the most credible sources for increasing
renewable energy production towards a resilient and decarbonised energy supply …

The aim of this paper is to present the current status of the offshore wind industry and to
identify trends in Offshore Wind Projects (OWPs). This was accomplished via a thorough …

Abstract The concept of Ecosystem Services has gained traction on the scientific agenda
and has found its way into research on urban environments. Cities and towns, like any other …

Of all the renewable energy sources (RESs)―except direct solar heat and light―wind
energy is believed to have the least adverse environmental impacts. It is also one of the RES …

The objective of the paper is to perform a review of the environmental impacts of the
installation, operation and maintenance (O&M), and decommissioning of offshore wind …

Several studies have been performed in the last three decades to assess the impacts of
marine biofouling on offshore wind turbines (OWTs) substructures. Marine biofouling …

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are the non-material benefits obtained from ecosystems
that contribute to human well-being. They are often under-represented in ecosystem …

Offshore wind farms (OWFs) act as artificial reefs, attracting high abundances of fish, which
could potentially increase their local production. This study investigates the feeding ecology …

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are some of the most difficult ecosystem services (ES) to
characterize and connect to specific ecosystem processes. Given their connections to …

Achieving a blue economy will require reconciling the value of emerging ocean uses with
their impacts on the seascape and sectors with historical access to marine resources and …
