Abstract
This Educational Research Brief summarizes the existing understanding of potential effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on marine life in offshore wind areas. The Brief summarizes how some species sense and respond to EMF and focuses on how EMF from offshore wind farms may interact with marine life. The focus is on species relevant to development on the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.
