To investigate the ecological implications of accelerated seabed mobility around windfarms, scientists will be studying the combined impacts of climate change and offshore wind farms on seabed habitats and organisms, including impacts to their distribution and biodiversity. By looking at the impact of the climate crisis and sea-level rise on the seabed, the ECOWind-ACCELERATE team will be able to gain an understanding of the baseline changes in sediment movement and how modifications to the seabed affect the wider marine ecosystem around the UK.
