STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Birds vs. Blades?: Offshore Wind Power and the Race to Protect Seabirds

Scientists study seabirds’ migration routes so offshore wind farms can be placed away from the birds’ paths. One winter field scene shows a northern gannet being carefully lifted from the water into a net. A team then implants a high-tech tracking tag. Photographs, a glossary, bibliography, and notes accompany this look at research intended to protect seabirds while wind power is developed.
