Question

Studies show that interactions of low flying bird species with offshore oil and gas drilling rigsresult in the deaths of individual birds or sometimes hundreds of birds at one time scientistshave learned that some birds are attracted to these structures because they serve as roostingsites and some birds are disoriented by or attracted to the light sources on the structures.These types of offshore drilling rigs have been increasing in number and that trend is expectedto continue which of the following types of information may best help the long term survival ofbird species that tend to interact with these structures?A. information about how to use smaller structures that will house fewer birds.B. information about how to make these structures less appealing to migrating birds.C. information about how to move these structures closer to the shore and away frombirds.D. information about how to change bird migration routes so that these structures are notpassed by birds.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem we have that the birds are attracted to the mentioned structures because these structures serve as resting places and some birds are disoriented or attracted by the light sources in the structures. Therefore, a general solution could be to devise ways so that birds are not attracted to these structures and thus reduce the environmental impacts derived from interactions between birds and oil platforms.

Then, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:

B. information about how to make these structures less appealing to migrating birds.
