Research | Responsible Future

There is extensive information including research links on the website nooffshoreturbines.com.

We will not replicate the research here but instead over time, include relevant reports we have compiled concerning risk factors associated with offshore wind turbines. We would encourage you to review the extensive content on this website and explore other sources of information to further validate the research.

You can download either a colour or black and white copy of our recent flyer for distribution (February 2024).

Note that this is intended to be printed and folded in half in a booklet style.
