The co-location of offshore windfarms and decapod fisheries in the UK: Constraints and opportunities
The offshore wind sector in the UK is expanding rapidly and is set to occupy significant areas of the coastal zone, making it necessary to explore the potential for co-location with other economic activities. The presence of turbine foundations introduces hard substrates into areas previously domina...
