Blueprint of wind turbine proposed to reduce seabird collisions Graham Martin and Alex Banks
The number of seabirds dying from crashing into wind turbines can be reduced by painting the blades and poles with black and white stripes, researchers say.
Graham Martin of the University of Birmingham, UK, and Alex Banks of Natural England, a public agency with a say in planning applications for UK offshore wind farms, wanted to come up with a pattern that could easily be painted on offshore wind turbines. rice field. Impact on bird life.
