Sea Turtles

Sea turtles commonly utilize sea currents and travel great distances.

Sea Turtles

Sea turtles are believed to utilize the earth’s magnetic fields to migrate great distances across the oceans. If true, this could suggest that sea turtles may be vulnerable to certain levels of EMF being emitted by offshore renewable energy devices. The dynamic and static physical presences of devices are also important stressors to consider. Sea turtles are not particularly fast swimmer and could be struck by a rotating blade or moving flap. Static structures can also pose as artificial reefs, attracting certain species of sea turtles.
