Impact of Offshore Wind Farms on Ocean Life

Wind farming is a very valuable renewable energy resource. One problem with it is many people's aversions as to how they look. Their size and appearance is ugly and obscuring the landscape to some. This is why scientists have been researching the possibilities of wind farming in the ocean. Where there is almost always a guaranteed breeze, and nobody to complain about the view, well almost nobody. The only thing we haven't taken into account is the marine life's reaction to the wind turbines, and their construction, which is loud. Many scientists believe that noises from construction could be so loud and foreign to fish, they could go deaf. But, the turbines could also be helpful in creating an environment for fish around the turbine. With boating/fishing restrictions all over the area, fish will be free to thrive and create their own little community.
