A new scientific publication provides recommendations on how to monitor ocean sounds and will help the offshore wind industry advance in a smart way that is protective of the marine environment.. The rapid growth of this new clean energy industry is essential if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, and the strides forward being taken by the Biden–Harris administration are to be celebrated.
In October, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management took an important step in that direction, by jointly publishing. Their recommendations for how best to listen for marine wildlife — from the largest whales to economically important species like cod — should be used for monitoring and mitigation during offshore wind energy development.
The new recommendations provide advice on how to choose among the many listening systems that can be used to monitor the marine environment during offshore wind development. Figure adapted from Van Parijs et al. , Figure 1. While using passive acoustic listening systems to monitor the marine environment during offshore wind development is incredibly valuable, it is not always clear which technology should be used for a particular monitoring goal, or how a network of systems should be deployed to effectively monitor for changes at a regional scale., a peer-reviewed scientific journal, answer these important questions.
