Description
Wind farms along the Atlantic coastline provide sources of clean energy but are dangerous to migrating seabirds. Find out how scientists are working to ensure that the windmills won't spell disaster for the millions of seabirds that play a critical role in the ocean food web. As they discover more about the birds' migratory paths, they can establish a database with their locations, food sources, and populations, in order to help with planning locations for wind farms.
