Endangered Black-faced Spoonbills alter migration across the Yellow Sea due to offshore wind farms #CHN

The Black-faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor), an endangered and flagship species inhabiting coastal wetlands along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, migrates annually between its primary breeding grounds on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula and its wintering grounds, predominantly Japan, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The Yellow Sea crossing, averaging 14.1 h, is perhaps the most challenging part of their migration. The southwest coast of the Yellow Sea, crucial for migratory birds, hosts the world’s largest concentration of operational offshore . . .
