Offshore wind farms in the North Sea have reduced the population of loons—fish-eating aquatic birds also known as divers—by 94% within a one-kilometer zone, according to new research published in Scientific Reports. The findings highlight the need to minimize the impact of offshore wind farms on seabirds, while balancing this effort with the demand for renewable energy.
