Just as all life on land, life in the sea depends on oxygen. But for the oxygen to penetrate to the depths, the gas must be able to mix through the layers of sea water. Groundbreaking British research shows that summer storms are important for keeping the ocean healthy. And wind power has a positive effect, shows the study, published in Nature Communications.
The North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia have been singled out for future offshore wind power. Several authorities have tried to find suitable areas - but different interests are fighting each other.
