Black-footed Albatross (IMAGE)
Caption
Albatross species such as the black-footed albatross forage in waters offshore, and their ranges overlap with areas being considered for offshore wind energy development. Displacement from foraging sites and direct mortality from collisions with the blades of wind turbines could have detrimental effects on the populations of albatrosses and other vulnerable species.
