The world is slowly transitioning away from a heavy reliance on oil and gas, and renewable energy resources are expanding. But how will these newer energy sources impact wildlife and ecosystems? The sector of marine renewables represents a largely untapped source of clean energy, but there is still much to learn about the impacts this technology has on marine life. Scientists in the UK sought to understand how harbor porpoises responded to the placement of tidal stream turbines to their environment. Harbor porpoises usually live in groups of two or three in coastal areas, where they are particularly vulnerable to human disturbances.
