Popis: In Holland the first two offshore wind farms, the Offshore Wind Farm Egmond aan Zee (OWEZ) and “Prinses Amalia” were built in respectively 2006 and 2007. Beside the main goal of producing electric energy from wind resource the construction of the first wind farm (OWEZ) was also used to demonstrate the impact of such construction to the environment. To demonstrate the impact an extensive Monitoring and Evaluation Program (MEP) was developed to evaluate the effects on benthic organisms, fish, birds and marine mammals. One of the tasks was to measure the underwater noise characteristics before and during the construction and with turbines in operation and to estimate the effects.
