Offshore wind farms threaten the endangered Brazilian kelp Laminaria abyssalis: a call for urgent nature-positive action
Constructions of offshore wind farms over 15,000 km2 are planned on the continental shelf - home to the indigenous critically endangered kelp Laminaria abyssalis and are currently under technical evaluation by the Brazilian environmental authorities (the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, IBAMA). Construction, maintenance and routine activity near the facilities are expected to intensify the anthropogenic pressure on the kelp's restricted habitat (33,000 km2). Monitoring conducted since 2022 by the global RESTORESEAS project has highlighted the danger of a major reduction in the effective niche of L. abyssalis, raising concerns about its possible functional extinction. Immediate remapping of kelp beds combined with marine forest restoration strategies are essential to prevent irreversible loss and secure current biodiversity to face future climate changes.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
