The UK has been a pioneer in offshore windfarm development over the past 20 years thanks to our shallow seas. There is now a wealth of data on their impacts to the marine environment and still many questions to be answered. Richard will be talking about the impacts of windfarms on marine ecological receptor groups and what measures windfarm developers take to minimise the impacts of their construction and operation.

Our speaker is unable ot make the advertised date due to ill health. I am sure we all wish him a very speedy recovery, and I hope to be able to re-schedule this talk later in our current programme.

POSTPONED Wednesday 12th November at 19:30
