Offshore wind power cables can affect sensory system of sharks and rays: studies - Sopuli

> A six-year project called “Elasmopower [https://nwwac.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/nwwac-march-2026-elasmopower.pdf]” examined how EMFs from subsea power cables in offshore wind farms affect bottom-dwelling sharks and rays. These species depend on natural electric and magnetic fields for key behaviors such as navigation, prey detection, habitat use and long-distance movement, particularly in low-visibility environments. The studies conducted as part of the Elasmopower project have been published in four papers, with three additional papers currently undergoing peer review. Still far better than fossil fuel use and extraction by a million miles, but this is necessary research.
