Underwater power cables make lobsters larvae bad swimmers
&gt; “One potential solution is to bury the cables in the seafloor. This is already done for many marine renewable developments but can be expensive and difficult to maintain. It will be important to ensure its continued inclusion in the consenting process for future projects.<p>That&#x27;s a great way to make renewable projects more expensive and thus less likely to happen, the effects of which may be worse (even for those crabs) than a couple cables in specific locations.<p>OTOH, it shows that electromagnetic fields, even static (DC) ones, can have significant biological impacts. Was this already known or is that a new discovery that could have impact beyond protecting crabs?
