The Rich North Sea: Searching for projects/partners in the field of offshore nature enhancement

With the program "The Rich North Sea" we take the unique opportunity that offshore wind farms offer to strengthen nature in the North Sea. In this way we help our earth in two ways; sustainable energy against climate change, and nature development for more biodiversity in the North Sea. Due to fishing and diseases, the biodiversity of our largest nature reserve has decreased and almost all natural reefs have disappeared. If we want to bring back those reefs, active interventions are necessary. We place artificial reefs and stock oysters to help marine life flourish. In doing so, we investigate what the ideal conditions are for optimal nature development. We want to apply the knowledge gained in all wind farms in the North Sea. For the upcoming years we are looking for projects we can join related to the themes described above. With a special focus on nature enhancement, monitoring and lobby. We are also looking for partners interested in developing such projects with us.
