UK introduces rules to reduce underwater noise from wind farm construction, protecting marine life.

The UK government has introduced new rules to reduce underwater noise during offshore wind farm construction, to protect marine life. Developers must use low-noise methods when detonating unexploded WWII bombs found on the seabed and show efforts to minimize noise from turbine installation. This aims to prevent harm to marine species and commercially valuable fish stocks, while supporting the UK’s goal to decarbonize the grid by 2030.
