    A predictive model suggests that seabirds and marine mammals forage in the same areas where wind potential is most significant and that their populations may be at risk if wind farms are built there. This is one of the key findings of a study published in the Journal of Environmental Management, the result of a collaboration among researchers from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), the University of Murcia, the Complutense University of Madrid, and the University of Alicante. . . .
