Floating solar farms in the Netherlands may be supporting local wildlife. Researchers observed bird sounds suggesting possible nesting under the solar panels. Underwater shelters installed beneath the panels attracted hundreds of fish and thousands of aquatic creatures. These structures developed into small ecosystems supporting life higher up the food chain. The findings suggest carefully designed farms could create new habitats for wildlife.
