The Energy and Nature Database collects and showcases innovative projects that demonstrate how offshore wind and grid infrastructure can enhance or restore marine ecosystems and provide a positive impact on local communities, whose well-being is linked to healthy ecosystems.

Projects included in this database have been implemented in the marine environments by wind energy developers, transmission system operators, research institutes, local communities, and/or environmental NGOs. Although OCEaN works in the European context, the projects included in this database are from around the world. They vary in their objective and scope, ranging from restoration actions to nature-inclusive designs which enhance marine habitats. All practices are being monitored for their impact, and in some cases positive impacts have already been observed.

The aim of this database is to share ideas and lessons that can inform and inspire other projects and that may be replicable if adapted to the local conditions, species, and habitats. The inclusion of a project in this Database doesn’t constitute or imply endorsement from OCEaN Members.
