Difficulties and Challenges of the Integration of Offshore Wind Farms and Marine Ranching

Abstract

Under the background of marine strategy and clean energy strategy, China has carried out large-scale construction around marine ranching and offshore wind farms and made great achievements. However, the problems such as high project cost, the fragmentation of marine habitats and maritime conflict are becoming increasingly prominent, which have led to the test and exploration of integrated development of offshore wind farms and marine ranching at home and abroad. Based on the analysis of relevant research and test work at home and abroad, suggestions are put forward for the current situation of integrated development of offshore wind and animal husbandry, as well as the difficulties and challenges in economic and policy feasibility, site selection and planning, fish species selection, supporting equipment development, ecological impact assessment (noise, electromagnetic field, base interference, heavy metal migration, etc.), etc.
