Session description

As marine industries are expanding, offshore space is becoming limited in the near-shore waters of Northern Europe. Spatial interconnections and industry boundaries are being drawn in relation to other human activities as well as to marine biodiversity.

How can we explore the potential for combined use of marine space with other marine based industries

How can offshore wind farm development reduce impacts on - or even contribute to preserving - marine life?
