The goal of the North Sea Foundation is a clean and healthy North Sea, with sustainable use.
Our organisation has 4 teams: Space for nature, Clean seas, Sustainable food and Nature-friendly energy. This project covers many of the expertise within the teams. Within Space for nature we work directly on the goals under 3.2, by ensuring nature protection and restoration within marine protected areas and beyond. The Cleans seas team works specifically on pollution, including shipping, and underwaternoise pollution, to minimize it’s occurrence and effects on nature. Nature-friendly energy goals are also directly bound to this project and programme section 3 and 3.2. The energy transition is much needed to ensure a climate resilient North Sea region, but at the same time this must be done as nature friendly as possible to ensure the link to 3.2. We work on minimizing the effects of the large-scale offshore (wind) energy transition in a nature-positive manner, including taking into account effects of underwaternoise.
