Traduction de «Evaluating wind farm sites » (Anglais → Français) :

While in general terms wind energy does not represent a threat to wildlife, poorly sited or designed wind farms can have a negative impact on vulnerable species and habitats.

109. Believes strongly that there is an urgent need to promote and apply a mapping/spatial planning programme for Community waters in order to meet the need to maintain a sustainable and geographically representative fisheries sector; believes that the mapping out of zones is a suitable exercise as regards off-shore wind-farms or energy production, carbon sequestration and sand and gravel extraction or as regards aquaculture and that mapping the location of marine protected areas, including Natura 2000 sites ...[+++] and other sensitive habitats and species, would lead to a more efficient and sustainable use of the maritime environment; stresses that in order to enable effective spatial planning, areas of fishing activity need to be mapped, and this should be facilitated by improving and standardising access to vessel monitoring systems and logbook data across Member States; considers that planning decisions concerning Community waters should be taken in full consultation with the fisheries sector and the communities directly affected;

24. Believes strongly that there is an urgent need to promote and apply a mapping/spatial planning programme for Community waters in order to answer to the needs of maintaining a sustainable and geographically representative fishery sector; mapping out zones ideally suited for off-shore wind-farms or energy-production or for carbon sequestration and sand and gravel extraction or aquaculture or mapping the location of marine protected areas, including Natura 2000 sites and ...[+++] the location of other sensitive habitats and species would lead to more efficient and sustainable use of our maritime environment; to enable effective spatial planning, areas of fishing activity need to be mapped, and this should be facilitated by improving and standardising access to vessel monitoring systems and logbook data across Member States; considers that planning decisions concerning Community waters should be taken in full consultation with the fisheries sector and the communities directly affected;

The intended priority in this key sector action is large wind farms, including offshore, and challenging sites and applications.
