Developing cetacean-friendly guidelines, from whale watching to offshore wind farm operation
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Developing offshore wind farms may impact cetaceans due to vessel collisions and underwater noise. Therefore, it is critical to protect cetaceans while developing offshore wind farms. We first studied the code of conduct/guidelines for whale watching and
