By sidestepping installed foundations, they potentially have lower environmental impacts from noise and seafloor disturbances compared to traditional fixed-bottom turbines, but studies are limited.<\/p>\n<p>Floating wind presents its own challenges, with potential for marine species such as sharks, turtles and whales to become entangled on anchor lines and cables. Steps to mitigate this include avoiding siting floating wind farms in migration corridors, configuring cable design to reduce entanglement risk, and installing continuous monitoring technology.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Banner image:<\/strong> Offshore wind turbines at Noshiro Port, Japan.
