Short summary
In the research project Wind4CoCo, we investigate the long-term effects of offshore wind farms on fish and biodiversity, and how renewable energy production can coexist with nature conservation and fisheries
Wind4CoCo builds knowledge about the long-term effects of offshore wind farms on fish and biodiversity and investigates opportunities for wind farms to coexist with nature conservation and fishing. The project combines field studies, analyses and stakeholder dialogues. The field studies are conducted at the Lillgrund wind farm in Öresund, which is currently the only large established wind farm in Swedish waters. The studies contribute to the development of sustainable designs for new wind farms and to the design of monitoring programmes for offshore wind farms.
