AI Will Be Used To Protect Whales From Offshore Wind Farms In The USA With The Aim Of Preserving Marine Life In These Areas

The United States is adopting an innovative approach to addressing environmental challenges associated with the development of offshore wind farms. Aiming to mitigate the impact of these installations on marine life, the Biden administration is implementing measures that include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and protect the North Atlantic right whales, an endangered species.

Offshore Wind Farms In The United States And AI Monitoring

As part of President Joe Biden’s proposal, the United States is seeking to deploy 60 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. The increase of these wind farm installations raises concerns about their impact on marine life, especially on the North Atlantic right whales, a species that has only about 360 individuals in the world.

In this regard, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States are implementing a joint strategy. This strategy utilizes artificial intelligence and acoustic monitoring to track the location of whales and assess the impact of offshore wind farms on their presence and behavior.

Protective Measures And Mitigation Of The Damage Caused By Wind Farms In The United States

The United States’ strategy also includes measures to prevent the construction of wind farms in sensitive areas for whales, establish noise limits during construction, and develop quieter technologies. The goal is to ensure that offshore wind energy development is carried out responsibly, protecting marine life, especially the North Atlantic right whales.

This project occurs in the context of the expansion of offshore wind energy in the USA, with 30 areas designated for wind farms along the East Coast where threatened whales live. The strategy of the United States government was announced close to the request for permits for offshore wind projects in Massachusetts and New York, highlighting the growth and economic potential of this sector.

The United States’ initiative to use artificial intelligence to monitor and protect the North Atlantic right whales is a significant step toward sustainable development of offshore wind energy. This innovative approach demonstrates the Biden administration’s commitment to environmental protection and marine biodiversity preservation, while simultaneously boosting the transition to renewable energy sources.
