Offshore Renewable Energy and Related Environmental Science

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on offshore renewable energy, including wind, wave, tidal, and thermal technologies, along with their benefits in reducing carbon emissions and promoting economic growth. It will also cover environmental concerns such as noise pollution, habitat destruction, and effects on marine life. Additionally, it will include multidisciplinary assessments of interactions between species, ecosystems, and infrastructure, emphasizing environmental science in understanding these impacts. Research contributions that examine changes in marine ecosystems, develop mitigation methods, and explore ways to balance energy goals with the protection of nature will be especially welcomed.
