Impact of wind farm construction on swimming animals in the South Yellow Sea: An evaluation based on the biodiversity and microplastics #CHN

Highlights Initial construction of wind farm (WF) has great influence on biological resources. With the completion of WF construction, biological resources gradually recovered. Microplastics (MPs) were widespread in swimming organisms in WF construction area. The MPs hazard index was evaluated in the organisms before and after WF construction. Abstract Wind farms (WFs) have grown significantly in recent years, especially in the offshore. However, their construction can adversely affect marine life and expose species to microplastics (MPs) pollution, posing a threat . . .
