TI - Avoidance & Minimisation of Environmental Impacts from Offshore Wind & Grid Infrastructure
AU - Offshore Coalition For Energy & Nature (OCEaN)
AB - In order to support the deployment of offshore wind and grid in a nature-friendly manner, the Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature (OCEaN) has identified 80 measures through which wind and grid developers can minimise potential environmental impacts on marine ecosystems. This work includes measures that reflect the first two steps of the mitigation hierarchy – avoidance and minimisation. This was done by combining the fragmented knowledge on available avoidance and minimisation measures for offshore wind and grid infrastructure, including the most recent, relevant, and available information, and finding common ground between the diverse stakeholders that make up OCEaN. Furthermore, ‘best practice’ measures were identified, which are implemented across multiple sites and are proven to effectively reduce negative environmental impacts.
