TY - JOUR A1 - Ortmann, Thiark T1 - Effects of Noise Emissions from Offshore Wind Turbines on the Marine Environment T2 - Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews N2 - The pursuit of Offshore Wind Energy (OWE), integral to the German government’s ambitious renewable energy goals raises concerns about the environmental impact of noise emissions on marine life. This paper delves into the theoretical background of Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) noise, exploring its various phases from the survey to decommission. It examines the types and causes of noise emissions, their effects on marine wildlife and potential mitigation measures. Highlighting the regulatory framework in Germany, the paper emphasises the need for nuanced approaches to balance renewable energy objectives with marine ecosystem preservation.
