The Environmental Technical Working Group (ETWG) of COWRIE commissioned the priority research project COWRIE 2.0 EMF with the objective to determine if electromagnetic sensitive fish respond to controlled electromagnetic fields (EMF) with the characteristics and magnitude of EMF associated with offshore wind farm (OWF) power cables. The project was undertaken by a consortium with representatives from Cranfield University (Project Coordinators), Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies Ltd (CMACS), Centre for Fisheries, Environment and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and Centre for Intelligent Monitoring Systems (CIMS), University of Liverpool. The project took an experimental research approach by enclosing a section of sub-sea cable within a suitable area of seabed using an approach know as mesocosm studies to allow the response of elasmobranch test species to controlled electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to be assessed within a semi-natural setting.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The collaborative team are satisfied that the study has met the primary objective of the project. Overall this unique project was extremely challenging, which resulted in a number of delays. The delays and associated overspend provide some very useful lessons for future projects of this type and scale. Regardless, the outcome has provided essential, scientifically rigorous determination of a topic that has been discussed for a number of years since wind power has been developed in coastal waters around the world. The results of the study are a significant step forward in our understanding of one of the environmental implications of developing offshore wind farms. The results will be of interest worldwide and are applicable to other types of offshore renewable energies. |
