The Crown Estate and the Centre for Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) have released a report which aims to help stakeholders involved in offshore wind developments better assess the impacts of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from subsea power cables on the marine environment.
According to the Crown Estate, the report should improve the understanding of the potential effects of EMFs, produced by power transmitted through subsea cables, on marine species, providing further evidence to facilitate and accelerate decisions in the planning and consenting of offshore wind farms.
