Description

This case study emphasizes the potential for multi-use between offshore wind energy and tourism (recreational fishing). Multi-use is already successfully occurring in near-shore offshore wind demonstration projects. Multi-use in the case study area provides the opportunity to design OWE projects with the broader ecosystem in mind, ensures early involvement of the recreational fishing sector in the decision-making process, and requires advanced research and monitoring efforts to enhance biodiversity and effectively measure net- zero impact goals.
