For example, there is a ban on active (beam trawling) fishing within windmill areas and additional fishing restrictions may be imposed in Natura 2000 areas.

Beam trawling, sand extraction, dredging, offshore wind farms and other human constructions and recreation are some of the main activities (see dossier 'Space at sea'). All of this obviously affects biodiversity in and on the seabed. Climate change also plays a significant role by changing the natural range of species.
The aim of this partim study is to get more insight into the effect of excluding bottom disturbing activities, in casu bottom trawling, on the characteristics of the endo- and epifauna communities of sandy sediments in wind farms.
A flexible team can be called on to perform both desk and field work, whenever and wherever necessary.Els VanderperrenRental of installations for marine experimentsAt ILVO, various recirculation systems are available in which exposure experiments (contaminants or other stressors), feeding trials, survival tests, and trawl tests can be done, or in which
Sediment fining results from a combination of sand mining, bottom (trawl) fishing, dumping (dredging) and the introduction of hard substrates.

For example, a chewed cable hitting a metal support beam can result in the cows avoiding certain cubicles. Also, stray voltage may only occur under certain circumstances. For example, only after cleaning the milking robot or in humid weather conditions because the insulation around a cable is only slightly damaged.
