Camera system sheds new light on bird collisions at sea
A new camera system has been tested at an offshore wind turbine and successfully observed potential bird collisions using thermal cameras and artificial intelligence. The study found that this technology can be effective even in challenging conditions. This allows for rare data to be collected on how birds move around wind turbines.
Why it's good news: It shows a new way to gather important information about the impact of offshore wind farms on bird populations, which could lead to more sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions.
