Environmental impacts of offshore wind farms in the Belgian North Sea: Preparing for more offshore wind farms
Notable results include that no significant impact of wind farms is found on the abundance of invertebrates and fish living on sandy bottoms.

Towards minimal chemical pollution and greater sustainability of offshore wind energy production
A first stakeholder event is planned for May 30-31, 2023, in Hamburg, Germany, to exchange knowledge on the effects and risks of chemical emissions from OWFs and to discuss possible solutions to further enhance the sustainability of offshore wind energy.

Offshore wind farms increase carbon storage in seabeds – useful knowledge for marine spatial planning and climate change models
Two recently published papers describe in detail how organic material is concentrated in and around the wind farms and deposited at a greater distance in lower quantities.

Offshore wind farms increase carbon storage in seabeds - useful knowledge for marine spatial planning and climate change modeling
Two newly published papers describe in detail how organic matter is concentrated in and around wind farms and deposited in lower quantities at greater distances. This provides greater carbon sequestration in the seabed of the wind farms.
