The five OWF hotspots are identified as the Gulf of Lion, the North Adriatic Sea, the Gulfs of Hammamet and Gabès, the Gulf of Sidra, and the Nile Delta. Understanding the species, habitats and taxa that are likely to be affected by the construction and operation of OWFs in these regions and the wider Mediterranean region will assist developers and policy makers with future spatial planning decisions regarding OWFs within the Mediterranean. Furthermore, the advancement and implementation of floating wind turbine technology may diminish many of the above mentioned effects, which, from this point of view, is a very promising perspective for the near future.
