My name is Milagros Forastiero, current student of the degree programme called Engineering in Renewable Energies, focused on wind energy generation and control. I am currently a fourth-year student at the Technological University of Uruguay (UTEC). My research interests within the university include offshore wind energy generation, aiming at the estimation of the factors that allow its feasibility in coasts, along with the quantification of the possible energy production. I am currently focusing my investigations on studies about the environmental and social aspects of offshore wind farms implementation. Having as a focal point how carrying them through may affect biodiversity at a regional level and the chain-like reaction in the ecosystem this may entail to the species that inhabit the area. Apart from this, the possible social repercussions on employment, tourism and fishing that the inherent stages of construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of an offshore wind farm may cause at a regional level.
