Topics

OCEaN’s work can roughly be divided into the following topics:
 
1. Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP)
2. Impacts of offshore renewable energy and grid infrastructure on the environment
3. Restoration of marine ecosystems
4. Environmental data for better planning of offshore wind grid infrastructure development

We also cover other topics which are either embedded in those mentioned above, currently in exploratory phases, or generally related to our overall work. Some examples of these include: the integration of sustainability (non-price) criteria for offshore wind farms in the tendering process; multi-functionality and multiuse of offshore wind infrastructure; nature inclusive designs (NiD) and nature-based solutions (NbS); decommissioning and circularity of offshore wind farms; and community benefits for local stakeholders.
